There is No Education Like Adversity

1st race of the 2010 season (WORS #4 Sunburst Showdown) for me due to knee issues from July, 2009 and my only expectation going into the race was to finish and remain in the Comp Cat 2 category, which I did.

I truly did not expect for it to be such a struggle to cross the finish line. A leadout crash, a 2nd lap broken middle chainring, and a 3rd lap broken chain had me wondering if I was going to be able to finish. I did, although easily finished with my worst result ever. Special thanks to my family and friends to cheer me on as I 'brute forced' and survived this race. Next up WEMS #3: 12 Hours of John Muir and a 3 hour solo race for me.

Felt great to race again and despite the adversity, I still had fun!
