Cross National - Elizabeth White - 13-14 Women - 12-17
On December 16 I raced in the 13-14 junior women division. I had to do three laps of a course with an up hill start, many slick turns, and some extremely fun woopty doos. At the start I almost blacked out from being so nervous. I was second off the start but once I past her I maintained first. The first two laps I kept increasing my lead on second but on the third lap I bonked and my gap shrunk. In the end I went home with the jersey.
On December 17 I raced in the B-women. I was second off the line but people slowly past me as the race went on. I took a gummy energy block and passed a couple people. At the very end it came down to a sprint between me and a pro mountain biker. She was far ahead of me to begin with so I sprinted harder than ever and won the sprint. In the end I placed 16th out of 62 finishers
