I pushed the bike a bit harder than my last race and when I got off the bike my legs didn't feel very good. I was sure I was going to have trouble. Thankfully it didn't happen and I pulled it back together.

One of my favorite races! Dale does an outstanding job!

My time was good enough to come in 3rd in my AG. Only the second time I have ever made it to the podium.
