Today: 1st place in my age category.

Cactus Cup Fat Tire 40 miler race.

Even though I'm very happy with 1st in the 50+ category... I didn't have my best day on the bike for this grueling 40 mile course.

The first 15 miles were great. I felt good and went out strong. I was leading the group on some fun twisty single track & feeling optimistic. Then my legs got tight & my body said "no more!"  I suffered through the remaining 20 miles of rocky trails trying all I could to get to that finish line before too many girls passed me. It was a struggle.

I was so happy to be done! Here are some of the awesome girls I get to race with...

Julie, Heidi, Jenn, Janet.

Got cleaned up & hung out with friends like Dean...

and Nick & Heidi.

And Janet.

Thanks for your awesome support, Bob & James. Both of them got to 7 points on the course to cheer & hand off a bar or drink to keep me going. It was needed & appreciated.

A tough but great day!
