Park City Point to Point and NUE series.

Jenny's report
I made a whirlwind trip to Utah this weekend for the Park City point to point race. Coming out of Leadville I wanted one more go at a long day, for experience and this event promised a stellar women's field, 80 miles of single track, excellent passionate organizers, and an equal payout 7 deep $5000 prize purse.

 My race didn't go quite as planned, past 50 miles, but thats fine and I came away with a few good lessons.
1. Need sleep. Despite excellent accommodation ( thanks Kathy and Chris Sherwin) and really from the drive my sleep was 45 minutes the night before.
2.Check equipment. My cleat threatened to fall off 20 miles into the race. Luckily I had an Alan key set.
3 Look after my back and core.  My back has been a bit problematic lately and Spasmed and drove me to distraction in the last 30 miles ( 4 hours of this race).
4 Still working on race nutrition. Fuel + not feeling ill. Liked the potato chips in the last 2 aid stations: helped with the grovel.

The best part was grovelling to the finish line and knowing I am done for a bit.

Next up Brian and I are going to defend our mixed title in Brasil ride www.brasilride.com 23-29 October, but for now its time to Sonya Looney quote ' rebuild my mojo' and my core.

Amanda Carey and I somewhere in the first 50 miles. Amanda rode a superb smooth ride to win the PCP2P.

Womens Podium: Amanda Carey, Erica, Sonya Looney, Rebecca Rusch, Me, Evelyn Dong, Kelly Beim Boniface.
