I hadn't really raced since mid-November, so I had no idea how Saturday's race at Southridge would turn out.  The plan was to sit in for lap one.

Unfortunately, I like to rail singletrack, so I wound up taking the lead before we hit the singletrack and never "looked back"!  Had a great race and can't wait to continue to gain fitness with training hard!

Finished 1st out of 4 Cat 1 women. 

Looks like the 2009 race season is off and running.  Southridge has already had 2 races, and the third is coming up on Saturday!  I hope to make it out to a few of the SRC Races to support the local scene and test the fitness.

I'd like to thank Nema Brand International for picking me up as a rider as well.  Looking forward to sporting the gloves while racing this year!  Will have a full report on those soon.
