What an amazing weekend!! I raced on a team of 4 women in teh 12 hours Dawn til Dusk mountain bike race in Gallup, NM on May 17th! And we took home 1st place in the 4 person women's category with 9 laps!
If you haven't been there yet it should be a must on your race bucket list. A very small and simple race, but on an amazing 13 mile loop course that has the technical aspect right out of the gates and the fast and flowy for about 11 miles of the course!
Our group of women were first from the get go and stayed that way throughout the entire race with a gap of only 10 seconds at one point to a lead of 20 minutes with the second place team.
On my second lap I took a huge fall over the handlebars on to my shoulder and head with a mile to go. I was able to get up and recover enough to make it to the finish line still in first place. Still taking it pretty easy up until this point so far!
Congrats to my ladies who made up the team and took 1st place!
Big thanks to sponsors Serfas, NoTubes, Poc, Crank Brothers, GU Energy, Yankz!, Geigerrig, Polar Bottle and Bruce ProGold Bikes.
