btw - we consider blocking to be bad sportsmanship out here and even though we often have the numbers to do it (13-15 team members in a race) we do not condone it! Now mentally messing with a chase group and not working to chase down your own teammates, different story.
Thanks, Eden! I've been practicing the hill climbs .

The block at the finish was unbelievable! Strategically very smart, but also frustrating for those caught behind. I think I have been marked by some of the other women racers, and they are doing what they can to try and shut me out... Not sure how to overcome that.

My other challenge is that my teammates got dropped 1/3 of the way into the race, so I was really on my own. I'm trying to recruit a couple of stronger Cat 4 racers so I will have some help though.

Last year was my first year of racing, and for me, it was all about power. This year, I'm trying to race smarter, not harder .
