Kristin and I headed up to Singlespeedapalooza in New Windsor, NY to compete in the open women's 25 mile race. We awoke Sunday morning to pouring rain and we knew we were in for a muddy day in the saddle. We headed to the start line with less than an ideal warm up but took the lead of the women's race as we headed up the first fire road. The course was muddy and slick, with some rocks and slippery roots. We stuck together for the first lap, working through the men's field as we went, until Kristin flatted early in the second lap. The rain stopped during the second lap, leaving the trails to deteriorate into peanutbutter mud. We finished the race with myself in first, and scoring the fastest female of the day award and Kristin finisihing second, even after having to change flat.
