September 1, 2009: Sisquoc….hot but HUGE success for Raegan!

Race report by Raegan

The officials decided to cut one of our 3 laps, due to the extreme heat. It was 100 degrees and 115 on the back side. We had a pretty good size field with 23-25 starters. During our second lap, we some good attacks and one girl off the front for half a lap. We brought her back in just before the final climb. Just then Leah from Fog Racing took off. At that point the entire field broke up. Melinda from Las Vegas racing and I tried to chase her down. I tried to hold my 3rd place position for the finish, but the heat was too much. With my heart rate holding in the 200’s, it was too much for me to handle. I ended up with a finish in 5th place with only 16 finishers. Unfortunately we had two girls from MS Now go to the hospital for heat stroke during the race, with one passing out on the final hill. Both girls are ok and made it home safely.
