    what a story! what jerks!! So you showed us what the winner looked like. What did YOU look like? were you that same shade of brown?

    you've got guts, that's all I can say. I hope you gave your bike a well deserved bath!

    I was pretty muddy, not that muddy tho I don't have any pictures of me, but there were people out there taking photos. If I get one, I'll post it.

    I KNEW you'd have a great race...I told you so in your taper madness thread.

    Next year I hope the boys will be better behaved and you'll find yourself in a better wave. You'll totally have a podium spot. You still rocked it this year. I'm in awe of all of you riders. Next year I hope to be there spectating and look forward to seeing you dominate. DH has vowed that he IS riding next year.

    Wow! You did amazingly great, lime. I'm sure you (and DH) must be so proud! Too bad about the jerks, but congratulations on a job well done. I simply cannot fathom riding in that kind of mud!

    WOW! I can't even comprehend what that must have been like. I don't know if it looks like incredible fun or sheer agony.
    SO PROUD OF YOU!!!!! I can't wait to see some pictures of you out there. SOOOO impressed!! I knew you would do well, and you DID!! Too bad about the jerky men, but most of them sure do hate being "chick'ed." You can't help it that you're stronger than them.

    You are AMAZING!!!! Take a few days off and recoup. And give those legs a good "thank you" for all they did, and also a good warning that it's probably going to happen again soon!!

    No time right now for anything longer than a YIPPEE and CONGRATS! I'll write more about the men later.

    Way to go, limewave! All things considered, you did really awesome - that's a hugely crowded race with lots of unfortunate logistics. Next year when you don't have to mush past all the dudes you'll be flying. Podium for sure!!
