Ravensdale/Cumberland Race Report

I went into today's Cat 3 race a little tired from a week of training, but since I'm making next week a light week I figured I'd just give it all I had. That basically meant hiding for the first 50 miles, then working my way to the front for the last 10. I really pushed it up and got lucky and found some clean lines in the last 2 miles. They changed the finish this year to a STEEP 800 meter climb. It may have been a good idea to actually see the finish before making that final turn, but it seems like most people didn't know what to expect. In any case, I was about 10-15 back once making that last turn and managed to get 8th. Needless to say, after finishing last in 2 Mason Lake races and then getting 2 DNF's in road races I am pretty stoked about how things went.
