Road race in Oliver: This was the hardest and most painful. My race was 40km, 2 laps of 20 km. At the end of the first lap I was still with the leaders but I felt like the pace was starting to pick up. We dropped some racers off the back, and I dropped off the back by a few meters too but only for about 4 minutes. I worked hard and caught back up but by the time I got back, 2 kids had a break away going. We never caught them again. In the last 4-5 km, I made a mistake by pulling everyone in my pack for way too long! I paid for it going up the last hill towards the finish line and the whole pack of 7 I had been pulling passed me and I couldn’t go with them. I ended up in place. I learned what I would do differently in terms of strategy. I had 3rd place and lost it in the last couple minutes of the race. Placement: 10th
