    Kristy, I do not envy you that kind of race on that course. It was a really tough course! Sounds like you put in one heck of a fight though...great job! I admire your guts when it comes to going on the attack...I still have to work on that!

    There was a photographer on site taking pics, but he didn't stay into the rainy 1/2/3 race. Here's a photo of me at the finish.

    Just adding my "very cool" thoughts to this thread - awesome effort - such a thrill

    I haven't won many races and I remember my first win VERY well


    Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying,
    "I will try again tomorrow".

    So...to add to my first place news, I just received approval of my upgrade to Cat 3! Yippee...of course, now I have to go back to racing against ohmyspokes!

    I'm really excited about this. My goal at the start of the season was to finish one road race and one crit. That was it. Simple, easy, straightforward. Now, I'm actually considering a long term goal of getting to Cat 2 and racing the Liberty Classic. I may be insane, but I'd really love to do that! Anywho...that would be a LONG term goal. For now, I just want to hone my skills and keep racing.

    Alright. Welcome to the 3's.

    I see someone snagged a 3rd place finish at the Rodale Fitness Park.

    What do you think of the course over there? That's where we have our Thursday training crits.

    Welcome to a whole new level of suffering I knew that racing as a 3 was going to be harder, but wasn't QUITE prepared for the big jump. Of course, here we have to race with the 1/2s...

    Congrats on the upgrade!
