Day 1 - Road Race
I had a fantastic race - even though I pulled for 20 miles (because I am still learning to race smart). I learned that I was a strong rider and could kill hills. I did have an unfortunate event - a rider collided with me getting her derailleur stuck in my spokes... how we did not go down I will never know. I was able to pull away - but it messed up my front wheel. It would not turn - so pushing the last 8 miles with a messed up wheel I did not finish as strong as I would have liked - but still had a top 15 finish behind the leaders.
Day 2 - Time Trial
I came in 4th overall and was thrilled with my time trial.
Day 3 - Crit
I had a blast doing this crit. Normally I am not a crit girl - but I had some fun with some attacks and even got in a break of 4 of us for a bit - wish we could have held it. I ended up in a top 10 finish with the pack.
Day 4 - Road Race
This was another fantastic day of racing. I worked with the leader to bridge a gap and rode strong the entire ride. I had another great finish and ended the day with my 4th GC - couldn't have asked for a better experience at Gila.
