This race win was fantastic for me because the course was so sweet, as the route took over the entire downtown area of Folsom and had two bridge crossings. But what was extra special was the fact that the riders who finished 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th, were some of the top Road race specialists from all of Northern California. To be #1 on this day was amazing because the riders who finished behind me from the break-away were all riders with incredible talent....
The past weekends races did not go as I would have liked. However, there is always learning experiences I get in each event that will help me in the future. It is important I learn from the good and the bad moments in racing. Sometimes the bad races provide the most learning that will help me in future races.
I am really looking forward to the upcoming cycling events I will be competing in. I need to work on all aspects of racing and continue to develop my skills, tactics, and form.
