Did you do everything you could to prepare for today's race?
More or less.
Did you have any problems getting into the singletrack?
No.
How did you like the climbs?
I liked the climbs--the short climb up the gravel raod was probably the toughest for me.
Were you strong from start to finish?
I felt pretty good most of the race.
Were you happy with the way the race was run?
Yes--just wished the expert women's race hadn't been shortened by a lap. Otherwise, the race was run VERY well.
When did you put the hammer down?
I just felt like I went hard from the start.
Did you have any unusual problems?
Not really, just dropped my chain several times.
Did you have any interesting experiences during your race (exchanges with competitors/spectators)?
No.
Did you feel any extra excitement since this is the final Super Series race?
I would say that I just wanted to have a good race to finish off the series.
If you had just ONE thing that you could change to make next year's series better....... what would that be?
I would stick to the course distances listed on the flier for the women's expert class (--or at least make them longer than the women's sport races.) One race was shortened this year based on a decision of one racer and another was based on a vote at the start line.
Anything you would like to add?
Yes...You and Don did an awesome job running the series this year. I really appreciate all the hard work you put into the series to make it great. A BIG thank you is in order!
