How was your fitness level going into this race?

Not the best, but not really bad either. I'm still only averaging about a half-hour of training a week.

Were you happy with your position going into the singletrack?

Yes, very happy. I usually have a weak start, so I tried to get off of the line first, and did. But by the time I reached the singletrack, I had 2 or 3 girls ahead of me. They were in the other age group, though, so I wasn't too concerned about being behind them.

Were you strong from start to finish?

I was about the same from start to finish. My second lap is usually stronger, but not this race. I'm thinking that a little more training will help that out a bit.

When did you put the hammer down?

I didn't put any hammer down this race. I just tried to keep up my starting pace throughout the last lap.

Did you have any unusual problems?

Luckily, no.

Were you happy with the way the race was run?

Yes! No complaints here.

Did you have any interesting experiences during your race (exchanges with competitors/spectators)?

Nope--nothing specific anyway.

Anything you would like to add?

I'd like to thank my husband Bob, my mother, Brandon and Shanna for cheering me on this race!
