Feels good to hold my own in a strong group of men 💪
@racingdowneast#mainelygravel Race Recap: A bit sketchy in the beginning in such a big crew - it started to open up around the halfway point. It was those couple of sprints and climbs as the group yo-yoed which made the difference. I made my moves and kept the pace until the end. I knew in my mind that once the body started to overheat and not be able to cool off, the >90% humidity would take its toll. First time ever cramping a bit during a climb but I kept going and had enough distance for a solid W. Didn’t want to take any chances with the very strong @clara.brownie 🌈
Nice to see the YoY improvement despite the soft muddy gravel and humidity. Time to recover headed into @vermontoverland - Can’t wait to see how this shakes up. It’s always been a good testament to see how I am improving every year.
