Nice job - crits are the hardest race around if you ask me and it sounds like you had a plan that you accomplished well.
Wow - so many catagories, I'm jealous
I probably wouldn't be waiting at least one more race to upgrade if we had a separate 3's field.... (as it stands here you go from beginner to racing with the pro's- yup at the first WA stage race of the year two weekends ago the 1/2/3 field had at least 2 pros in it, including Mara Abbot who just happens to be oh, the #2 ranked NRC rider right now...) The only time there is a separate masters field for the women is at state championship races.

Wow, that's great! What a great race.
I am dumbstruck that a 12 year old is out there doing so well. That's just fantastic!Sarah

How fun and congratulations! Thanks for writing up the strategy. I love following that.
I worked reg for the Davis Crit last year and it was great to see all the young women (though 12 is really more girl than woman) show up. I can't remember her name but a 19 yr old Velo Bella from Minnesota was there and did really well.Frends know gud humors when dey is hear it. ~ Da Crockydiles of ZZE.

That was Leisel and she actually went pro mid-summer. IIRC, she was from Norway or Sweden and in the states to race and study and gain more experience. She was picked up by a european team.

I think I'm giving her a new name: Katrina How-it's-done, because she's now a triple USA Champ -- she won the Junior Girls Nationals in Time Trial, Road, and Criterium this year. Soooo friggin' awesome!!
We on the Central Valley Cycling (CVC) team are all SOOO terrifically proud of her. She's got great things in her future, for sure.
Good night...Zzzzzz....
