Track workout with the XC team -- 12 x 200m @:40, 200m recovery between each. Felt good today! My last 200m was a :32.
After running, went straight to Solitude for the last midweek mtn bike race, with my brother Martin and some other Summit kids. The race was super short, just 6 miles, because of the storm coming, so and all out sprint from the get-go! I would've won Expert women but for a mechanical on the last downhill. I ended up 3rd and was a little frustrated. Right when I finished the downpour began.
We all huddled inside Solitude's lodge with free barbecue (YUMMY!!!) and waited for the awards and raffle. A little 13 yr old girl apparently got lost and was still on course in the cold and dark, and a search party went out for her. They finally found her, and the poor girl was taken to the hospital... By then it was 8:30 and the raffle began.
I'm not lucky at all, at least I thought... so I wasn't surprised when all the prizes (and there were a ton of prizes) had gone and I still didn't have one. Then they took out the biggest prize of the entire season -- a new carbon bike frame, light as a feather, from Fezzari. AND I WON IT!!!!! IT WAS SO SO SO SO SO SO SO AWESOME!!!!!!! I'm so stoked!!! Don't know what to do with it yet.. Dad might build a new racing bike for me, though I got a new one this year that's still great... Or I might give it to my brother... Anyway, very exciting day!
