Thanks for posting this link. I'm about 1/2 way through the video. These women are TOUGH! It's interesting to watch their technique on the obstacles and hills. It's also good to see some of theses world class riders running or riding around some of the obstacles. Makes me feel like less of a wuss when I choose to walk some of the tricky stuff on the trails.

I can't seem to get it to play I will try tonight when I get home, perhaps it is something with the network at work.

I finally finished watching the race. The end was great! You should try to get to it again Catrin. I think that you would really enjoy it. It's a long race but I watched it in 20 minute increments which made it feel like I wasn't "wasting" quite so much time

I finally got it to work and watched it until the part where the woman with the flat tired came down the hill carrying her bike on her back - all of those women are tough! I will watch the rest in increments over the next few days - thanks for the link!

It was good to see those tough, experienced women ride around/walk some of the obstacles. I am not a racer and certainly won't ever be fast enough to do that, but it made me feel better to see that
