So today, Jo and I set off to ride out to Horseshoe Bay and then climb Cypress in the name of getting ready for next weekend's racing in Enumclaw.First thing I would like to state for the record is that our Jo is a Gazelle on the mountain climbs! There was no way I was going to stay on her wheel climbing up this beautiful mountain! So dEVa's remember to position Jo to win on any finish line at the top of a climb!
Aside from stopping to text Jeni to see how she how she did in the Crit today we made good time up the mountain and of course great time DOWN it! Wheeeeee!!!
And as far as my race report fro
m saturday's road race, it too was small field of 5 women for Cat 4. We had the same aforementioned triathlete and Glotman Simpson rider and our own dEVo's Camille, plus one other racer.The tri gal, jumped at the gun and raced up to the cat 5 men and hopped on their pack but then was told that she couldn't ride with them and so finished the race alone. Our GS racer mentioned that she chased down the first girl for a while and then ended up working with some 5 men that had dropped off the back of their pack, (she did mention she pulled alot...)
and that left myself, Camille and this other racer working together and ulimatley vie'ing for 3rd. Camille and I worked together seeing that our 3rd was a great climber but that we were stronger and most likely could out sprint her. So we did our best to take turns pulling and then when we were on our final stretch we said SEE YA to our climber and Cam and I sprinted it out to the finish line where our amazing dEVo young lady beat be by inch! Nice work Camille! Now I hope Jeff Ain is shaking a little in his boots cause if we can steal over to the dEVa's we will!!
It was a beautiful course, and a shame there wasn't more ladies out there to race. And CONGRATS to our fearless leader Lisa Howard who took 2nd for the Cat 1,2 3 women! I saw her racing always at the front of the pack as they passed by and had a great position.
Look out Washington, the dEVa's are coming to get ya!
