Winter Du Race #2

James and Meghan (ok... I can't write in the 3rd person anymore) headed to Hagan-Stone Park on Sat. for Race #2 of the Winter Du series... and the race went AWESOME despite some interesting conditions:

• They decided to make it more like a triathlon by incorporating some huge puddles into the run course. Yeah, the trail was a MUDDY MESS from all of the spectacular snow we've had.
• I disagree with the term "GENTLY ROLLING" to describe the bike course... I have never met a gentle hill in my life! Although, I was quite proud of myself for passing a guy on one of the uphills... of course he passed me right after... but, heck, I sounded like I was going to die so I'm pretty sure he still felt pretty ridiculous.
• Despite riding in a giant loop, we had a CONSTANT HEAD WIND... explain that one weather.com!

But, nothing can stop TAF Racing, and James got 4th overall (2nd in his age group) and I was the 3rd female (1st in my age group). And I'd like to point out that James was #1 on the second run... wahooo! Results

Anyone else who raced, let us know how it went, and enjoy the warm weather while it lasts! #20
