| Editor's note: Katie rode a SINGLE SPEED bike for this race. It has only one gear and will not shift into an easier gear for the tough hills, nor will it gain too much speed on the downhills as it is not geared too high or too low. There were many other single speed racers that couldn't catch Katie. Aren't women supposed to be slower? | ||||||||||||||||||

Katie: I haven't been counting. MBR.com: Were you strong from start to finish? Katie: No I was tired. I was stronger the first couple of laps. By the fourth lap I just kind of carried it through and finished. MBR.com: When did you put the hammer down? Katie: I had only one speed so it was about the same the whole time. MBR.com: Did you have any unusual problems with the race? Katie: No. |
