Snelling Road Race February 2011

I was upgraded to a category 3 racer last summer and finally decided to put that upgrade to the test at the Snelling Road Race. The weather this year was so much better! I was totally nervous, though, because my competition was going to be much stiffer. I was proud that I was able to hang on to the pack and actually do some pulling of my own. It was a long race...about 50 miles. I was pretty tired by the end. I knew I had a chance at a top 10 finish and really worked for it at the end. My legs were SO tired with that uphill finish. I was able to squeak out a 9th place. I was hoping for a little better but happy to have done so well in my first race as a 3. Yay!
