Two races, two first place finishes. I still haven't talked to Whitney to hear how things really went. What I do know - time trials went really well and she was excited to finally be racing again. In time trials she was faster than the guys in the Open Class and on Sunday she lowered her time that she posted on Saturday. She was the only Open Class woman racing so two first places for her. The good news about that is that I think it'll give her enough points to rank her first nationally in Open Class when they update tomorrow. She'll be first (only) in the Maine Mountain Series as well since they haven't had any in-series races yet.
I asked her about the course, thinking it'd be harder/bigger/more something than what's she's used to in the South. She said that it wasn't any harder but it was longer than she was used to riding. I made the comment about Massanutten rocking making a bx course and she totally agreed. Too bad she'll have to miss the race there.
In other news reservations have been made for Nationals at Copper Mountain in April. It's going to be a quick trip for us this year. Usually we go out and plan an extra day for fun riding after she competes. Being in college can put the damper on fun though. We'll go out Friday and register, practice day on Saturday, race day on Sunday, then head to Denver to fly home. It will still be awesome to be out there and watch her race.
