It was also the first night that didn&#8217;t feature mud and standing water. The course was full of dry ruts from the previous races, but with less tire pressure and more speed, I never really noticed them.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m getting better at the LeMans start for sure&#8230; with perfect weather, a lot more people showed up, so it was crucial for staying out of traffic.<\/p>\n<p>The course was fast. I FINALLY felt like I was really killing it over the barriers. I rode hard and only had a couple of mishaps- once, I was carrying a ton of speed into a turn, nearly ran into a fence, and had to dump the bike to avoid it; the other was a near-miss- there was a lapped rider in front of me as I approached a pre run-up barrier. For reasons unknown, he decided that it was a good idea to stop in front of the middle of the barrier and step over&#8230; I, on the other hand, was screaming towards the barrier trying to carry some momentum up the hill following it.<\/p>\n<p>Important note- Cyclocrunk barriers are a lot narrower and about 3&#8243; taller than regulation-sized barriers.<\/p>\n<p>As I dismounted into a full-on sprint, I realized that he was not going to be out of my way and was forced to stop as quickly as possible so that I wouldn&#8217;t mow him down. My knees were a fraction of a second from buckling, but I managed not to make contact with him, his bike, or the barrier. Whew!<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217; t know how I ended up overall, but I was the 1st place woman for the 3rd time, so, later at the Young Avenue Deli afterparty, I got my Queen of Crunk prize&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.brickhouseracing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/10\/7529_1197228569482_1191535421_30639906_2015420_n.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1458\" title=\"7529_1197228569482_1191535421_30639906_2015420_n\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.brickhouseracing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/10\/7529_1197228569482_1191535421_30639906_2015420_n.jpg\" alt=\"7529_1197228569482_1191535421_30639906_2015420_n\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.brickhouseracing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/10\/7529_1197228569482_1191535421_30639906_2015420_n.jpg 600w, http:\/\/www.brickhouseracing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/10\/7529_1197228569482_1191535421_30639906_2015420_n-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 420px) 100vw, 420px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last night was the 3rd and final installment of our local cyclocross training series.
