Cranky Monkey 2013

5/18/2013

    I have raced 9 Hours Cranky Monkey twice before as part of a three person relay team. I knew the course, but it was going to be very different this year. I signed up for my first three hour solo race and was excited to do something that was longer than what I'm used to. I can easily say that this has been my favorite race since the beginning. The atmosphere is fun and everyone is there to have a good time.
    I was the first woman right from the Le Mans start and never looked back. The course is well rounded with a mix of fast single track, technical sections, and climbing. My first lap time placed me high in the rankings with the Sport/Expert Males and I was determined to keep up the speed. The second lap was about three minutes slower and I was starting to feel the burn. I ate my GU and it somehow smothered itself all over my face and then some dirt stuck to it to top it off. My GU and dirt beard gave me a disguise and I rode like a ninja! My third lap was about three minutes slower than the second. I pulled into the transition area and made the cutoff for a 4th lap. However, since I had enough of a lead on second place, the official told me to cross the line and finish. Cheers for a good race! First place Three Hour Solo Open Woman! (PLUS MOMMY WITH A FANTASTIC THIRD PLACE FINISH)
