It took a lot to put this race together, but we loved every minute of it. I wasn't sure if I'd get the time to race it, but we recruited the help of Matt R. for race day and that made it possible for me to get out an pedal my legs up that mountain. There was a strong field of Cat 1-4 women that road race all summer long. However, I had the advantage of not knowing which ones were fast where and what the tactics were going to be. I just gave it my all, stayed with Julie then when it got steep I hopped in front and kept pedaling! The motorcycle referee escorted me for the last 2 miles of the climb and I rolled in 1st with a time of 1:35:13, an almost 3 minute lead!
