Washington State Senior Road Race Champion
So apparently Walla Walla was just a precursor to this Saturday's road race. My wildest dreams are coming true - someone please pinch me!
We raced in Elma, Washington - near Olympia. The course is a 12.8 mile loop with a couple rollers, two hills right after one another, a nuclear plant and then a fast descent to flat farmland, repeat. We did 2 1/2 laps - and the finish is at the top of the hill. It's a grinder. The 200m mark is the steepest section and then it flattens out just enough before the finish line.
I must say my team has come a long way. We launched some attacks and played some eloquent defensive tactics. I smiled the whole race at how everything came together. Our General Manager told each person a task - and I was the lucky person to bring home the gold. It was thrilling.
During the last lap - I was able to place myself in a perfect position for the final uphill sprint - in the third seat. I didn't know if I would have the juice to complete the climb and then sprint the remaining 50m of flats... but apparently my wheaties worked today! My sister and mom were both there to witness and take photos. The following link is some of her work.

Thank you all for your support. All of the positive feedback and encouragement fuels my fire and makes me sprint that much faster at the end.

Rock on Pink!.....you da racin bomb hun!!!
Congrats!Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"

What's new, Pink?
Hey, Pink Kona....
Spazz's awesome new threat "Race Results" in General Discussion made me think of you.
Are you still out there tearing up the racing circuit?
Anyone know how to move Pink's thread over to the Race Results topic? We'll be able to find it easier that way.Last edited by BikeMomma; 06-23-2005 at 08:34 PM.
