| Overall feelings about the race: I am not good at acceleration, so I fell right into place #40 from the beginning. I was planning on moving up throughout the race, but I had mental problems and I became discouraged when I met resistance. I had the strength, and the power but I just couldnt let myself take the pain and move up. I moved up to 29th place by the end. I am glad that I have 2 more years to prove what I am really made of. |

| Best part of the race: Definatly the steep hills. Not many people can out climb me on a hill and it was that way again today. I probably passed at least 8 people on both of the hills. I had this sort of "Just try and stop me" kind of attitude and I moved up. I was really confident. |
