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.
