1st EXPERT 30-34 WIN!!!

Finally, after starting to race at Winter Park in 2006, I've won a Cross-Country race in the Expert Class! The brand new course was relatively short at only 17 miles, and definitely more technical than usual... which is always a help for me!

FINALLY! CU SHORT TRACK WIN!

Photos by Six Degrees to Slush... Thanks for taking some great shots out there. You rock!

The big 29" LenzSport wheels fly nice!

Much easier to race a tight, technical short-track from the front

I love getting out front early!

After many near misses last year, I finally pulled out the win at the CU short track last night! There was a tough group of 4 at the front, and I was leading for much of the race. After getting passed near the beginning of the last lap, I wasn't sure if I could pull it off. Luckily I was able to hang on, and re-passed with about 15 seconds to go and held on through the sprint to the line. Awesome!
