  • Comments: Yes I did have a great race (1st place overall masters women) but racing on chip seal really sucks, there were lots of flats out there. The town did that last year too, way sucky, I kept praying not to get a flat, I was very lucky..Nicol got one, not fun. Lots of turns so had to slow and speed up a lot which taxes your muscles, though it was flat and that's always nice. The wind was tough to deal with but everyone had to so alls fair I guess. There was lots of healthy offerings after the race watermelon,cucumber,carrots?? really, I wanted a freakin cheeseburger or pizza, something to sink my teeth into but maybe I'm the rarity.It really was my best race yet, can't believe how fast I went, big improvement over the boise 70.3 and I'm thrilled with that. Now I have to shorten and sharpen as Robert(bike guy) says, so that's what I'll try over the winter and see how that improves things.
