    Wow that sounds tough! That's also a very good finish, especially for your first race!

    I should add that it was 9th out of 16 starters for the Cat 4s and only 12 finishers. If you add in the masters women we had 18 in the group and I finished before all the masters. I'm happy because it was a tough course and my first race. But that's still in the bottom half. I have loads of room for improvement.

    Congrats! Hilly races will break up just as you described. It sounds to me like you did really well! As I have said to others on this board, remember that 9th is still top 10. You don't need to tell any of us how many there were .

    Can't wait to read about your NEXT race!

    Way to go! Sounds like you did very well, and got some great experience (for a better finish next time).

    wahoo!!! Congrats.

    17% grade at the finish Being able to finish alone is a prety big feat. And the first time out.

    I think the bacon cheesburger is well deserved.
