A Split Second

Me and Lisa Counting Our Earnings for the Weekend...Lisa KILLED the Rest of the Pro Women's Field!

We had our regional race in Telluride two weekends ago. IÂ’ve never been to Telluride before so it was awesome just to be there. The course is a really cool course with just about everything to offer: jumps, off-camber wooded sections, a good drop, and super high speed stuff at the end. I struggled with the course on Friday, but I really started to have fun on Saturday. It was actually really nice just to have one event to concentrate on this weekend.

I spent the weekend with the WP boys, Cody, Nate, and Forest. They always make me laugh, especially when Forest gets rain water dumped all over him in the middle of the night, TWICE! He always seems to have the worst luck! They made the many hour car rides very entertaining, too!

So, when it comes to race time, the DH boys are pretty used to finishing within the same second as 1,2, maybe 3 or 4 other guys. It rarely works out that way in our races. This weekend, however, I learned the value of pedaling as hard as you can everywhere you can. I was the lucky one who ended up placing higher in the same second race this weekend. It was extra beneficial because it ended up being the race for 3rd and 4th, the difference between getting some money and not! PEDAL HARD every time that you can!!
