Bob & I raced the Whiskey 30 this morning.
It's a big mountain bike event that takes place Friday, Saturday & Sunday in Prescott, AZ. Today's weather was sunny & cool; perfect!
I placed 2nd in 45 + division and was 4th place overall woman for the 30 miler today. There is also a Whisky 50 mile event. Both events are tough with a lot of climbing & technical downhill. I have to mention (because it won't happen again... LOL) that in 2012 I was the 1st place woman overall of the Whiskey 50! I was younger, thinner, and faster then ... and I also worked very hard for that win. :-) No complaints at age 51 though; I am thrilled to be having fun with the racing this year. It's been a while since pushing myself this much in biking. Never a bad idea to challenge oneself (& not just in biking). Congrats to CC for taking 1st overall woman in the 30 miler. Congrats to Julie for winning 45 +. Congrats to Erin for winning overall female in the 50 miler. All 3 are strong ladies who I have had the pleasure of racing with at various events this year.
More pics of the Whiskey tomorrow.
Congrats again on another great win...you do push yourself all the time, and I marvel at your determination and stamina!
