Wahoo!

Tour Del Sol was a fantastic race for me!  I came in 5th place overall.  My goal was to stay with the pack in the criterium and the road race and I did it!  I feel that I am getting stronger and can not wait to see what the rest of this season will bring.  I have Tour of the Depot coming up next week - it should be a great race.  The weather is finally nice as well so I can get some great rides in.  This is going to be a great year!

Getting Stronger

I went for a fantastic ride on Sunday with a great group.  There were a couple really strong guys and I was able to keep up with them!  One of them was a Cat 3 - it felt so great to be able to ride so well.  A couple of them commented that I was a strong rider - I feel like I am getting even stronger.  I am so excited for this weeks race - we will see how I do.  Look out - I am getting there!  I can only keep getting better.

RMR Crit Series

I have decided that I need to improve my weakness.  Criteriums are my fear and weakness - so that is where I need to get the most practice.  I did my first Crit Race with the Rocky Mountain Crit Series yesterday.  I did OK - I decided to register for Flight C rather then D - so I am in a tougher category.  There are not enough women racers - so we get to race with the guys.  In fact I was the only woman in the group.  I felt so good - I didn't even come in last, it is always nice when you can pass the guys.  This will only make me stronger and better as the season progresses.
