The state championship race was this past Saturday at Monarch High School in Louisville, just south of Boulder. It was a very fun course, mostly flat, lots of grass, an obligatory sand pit, and overall very FAST! I knew warming up that I didn't have great legs, but also that this course would be good for me. At the start I did not clip in as quickly as I wanted to, so missed a few spots early. But then settle in to the 15-20 spots and rode there pretty much the whole race. Got stuck behind 1 crash and a couple of bobbles, but all in all did not make many mistakes. My chain derailed on the last lap and from there I lost 2 spots that I never could make up, finishing 16th. I really wanted to land in the top 10, but overall I wasn't too unhappy with the day.

I still believe that bike racing is equally seasonless especially to bike enthusiasts like you. Im pretty sure April is just near - in a blink of an eye! Great shot of Erin's by the way :)
