the open areas sucked! so windy!
^christian and i warming up..
^some of us before the start.
Today was my first mountain bike race of the season, Bar-H! and also my first race as an expert. Havn't trained for the mountain bike lately, but it was fun just getting back out on the trails, besides the fact my upper body was dying and my fingers were so tired, I felt like I could not even grip the bars.(good thing i didnt hit any large bumps or rocks while descending.) I finished top half out of the Expert women 19-29 AND 30-39.. Waco will be my next race, I'm excited to train more on the trails. Christian and Will Raider also raced. Christian got third in the PSE and Will got 1st in the Jr. X. Woooowhhhoooo! enough mountain bike stuff... so next weekend in rouge! I am excited, I know it will be hard but when I am done, I'll get that feeling! So for those of you who don't know, Rouge is like a 95 mile road race, yet almost half is on a gravel road. I hear there are so decent climbs and is just tiering.. I'm readY!
