Race Updates

I did the Porcupine Hill Climb on July 9 and took 7th.  It was a tough race with a mass start - I couldn't figure out who what ahead of me and what place I was in during the ride.  I wish I had done better - but it was still a great ride.

I did I Think I CANyons on July 16 - this was a crazy tough ride.  I am so glad I did it though because I am sure it made me stronger.  We did Little Cottonwood Canyon, Big Cottonwood Canyon, Millcreek Canyon, and Emigration Canyon.  13,000 feet of climbing and 110 miles.  We finished in 8 hours - which wasn't too bad, especially after taking a bit longer lunch than I would have liked.

Got another 2nd Place finish on July 23 at the Chalk Creek Road Race.  This was a fantastic race - I lost 1st place by an inch - this just means try harder next time.  I was on the front for way too long too - gotta learn how to stay off the front a little more.  I am looking forward to the next few races - gotta just race harder and keep getting stronger.  I am having a great season and hope to upgrade to CAT3 before the end of this season.  Gotta get one 1st place finish.  :)

Update

I realize I have gotten behind with my race updates.  Well I continue to get stronger and stronger - taking 5th place in the Antelope Island Road Race on April 30.  But my most recent race is the most exciting!  I took 2nd place in the High Unitas Classic on June 18.  What a fantastic race!  I continue to work on my hill climbing and continue to get stronger with each ride. Training 6 days a week - hoping to bump my training up to 3-4 hours a day.  I just wish I could afford to race every race out there - so I could upgrade faster.  I also am working towards getting the new Wilier bike I want - gotta get a bike that can keep up with me.
