    Congrats to you, again...I was the rider who took 2nd on the day! My personal best finish in a race so far (this is my first season racing, so I guess it was a good day for newer riders!).

    It was a New Jersey scorcher for sure, but it was great to be on such a beautiful course for 2 hours of racing! A big congrats to our Cat 4 group, which seemed to be one of the only packs that did not experience a crash on the day! Nice job, chicas!

    Wow, very good for your first year racing. You had a great race, you certainly put a lot of time pulling at the front! And I know that I used your wheel several times So thank you for that!

    Yes, no crashes and I also noticed nobody had terrible bike handling skills. There's usually a few in every race but not this one. It was a pleasant surprise

    I got stuck up in front a few times for longer than I would have liked. Fortunately, I had good legs for the day!

    Do you know anyone who was taking photos of the race? I'd love to see if someone got a shot of us at the finish!

    I know, I've been looking around online all day, myself. There's nothing yet for our race. A great site that I go to a lot is nyvelocity.com. They have a couple up from Sat but no women. Everyone prob left by then One of the other local teams (Metra Industries/Ideal Tile...the men's elite team) has one of the youger rider's fathers who is a photographer and gets a lot of great shots. They go to most of the standard NJ races and uploads his photos up on that website.

    ....even still waiting for the official results to be posted to see how my other teammates made out

    Wow, is this a TE first -- to have two people from the same race posting to the same thread? Now you guys need to enter the same race again so that we can have more!

    It's awesome to hear the sportswomen's respect shining through and to get points of view from different corners. Thanks to the both of you for chiming in here and a hearty "well done" for you both the 1st & 2nd finish!
