My share of it happened first thing during Saturday's road race, when a girl crashed in front of me on a steep uphill. I spent a lap (6 miles) chasing and when I did get back in with the pack I was pretty much done for. I still scored a few GC points, so it was worth the effort. I wish I could say the same for the next morning but time trialing is just not my thing. Crits, on the other hand, are something I am pretty decent at. The crit that afternoon was awfully fast considering it was our third race in 2 days, but my teammate Bianca got into the 7 woman break. We protected them and they were able to stay away for the rest of the race. I came in 4th in the field sprint, 11th overall, which gave me 18th in the GC, a finish I was rather pleased with.All weekend long, the race announcer was teasing us about how he wanted some of our clothing - thanks to our presenting sponsor, Pabst Blue Ribbon.
