An OA Victory

Cross is in high season here in OR, and I managed to rack up a win for the OA squad here this weekend.

Saturday was the first in the Fox Hollow series in Eugene, and I lined up against 2 other A women and 10 B men.  With the hilly, technical course working in my favor, I managed 1st in the women and 5th among the B men.  This despite tripping over my bike once on the way up a run-up, and stepping on my rear wheel.  Fun!

Then Sunday was a race at Barton Park in Estacada, OR. This race was subtitled, "The worst possible course for Sami," with its long flat windy stretches and rocky steep run-ups.  I nevertheless had a good time racing
in my rockin stars and stripes skinsuit, and pulled off 9th of 20 in the A women's race.

Casey McDonald also represented OA well at Barton.
