Eszter's Colorado Trail Race Report

So I realize that I'm well over a month late on this one.  But I have an excuse, like going to race in Ireland for Single Speed World Championships between then and now, but I'll talk about that in my next blog post.

For now, Colorado Trail Race was a blast.  470 miles of unsupported racing along the trail from Denver to Durango.  I wrote up a more detailed report here for anyone interested.

Long story short: I finished the race in 5 days and 5 and a half hours, breaking my old record by just over 24 hours.  I ended up 5th overall and first woman, just behind Jarral Ryter of Gunnison.  I didn't sleep much, I ate a lot, and by the end, I was pretty tired.

I'd like to do it again someday because I think I can go under 5 days, but for next year, I have some bigger fish to fry in the bike racing world.
