Way excited after the race! Ran the race out front from the gun, but let a Nevada girl gap me on the fifth lap and I never caught back up. Time was a bit slow and just felt kinda crappy for most of it. Still, it was a solid race and cool to take second as a freshman! And there were fish in the water pit, so that made my day.

Great finish. I saw your results in the paper this morning and was excited for you. Of course, this means that there is only one way to improve for next year...
