Alberta Provincial Cycling Champ?

Can you pick me out?

Well, I entered a cycling race this last weekend.  I mean, why not?  I need the practice racing in a pack and drafting.  ABA (Alberta Bicycling Association) was holding their provincial championships at Pigeon Lake near Edmonton so I signed up and raced 3 days later.

The Women’s Cat 3/4/5 was a 63K race fairly flat, kind of rolly.

The ladies were great.   

They really were lovely. 

 It was a safe race all around ZERO crashes! Praise God!  (It’s because my mom was there praying the whole time!)  It was a fairly easy paced race I kept in the back for the first half then in good position changing leads for the second half.  No one broke from the group at all. 

1000m to go I’m leading in the head wind…

                200m to go…

                                Okay, so I am going…

                                                Up the hill and cross the line. 

                                                                First :) 

That's the finish line

Anyway, I have the BEST support team EVER!

1. PhoenixVelo for the speedy SCOTT FOIL that makes cycling feel like flying

2. Athletes inAction who helped sign me up and made me wear sweet threads

3. My cheer team! Momma and Papa Farkash, the Husband, and my brother-in-law
