There were a lot of individuals representing their teams in the women's race. So this basically meant that not too many people wanted to take a strong pull and the pace got really slow at some points. Then whenever someone like me or my old sprinting friend for Marion was on the front, the other girls attacked every time. Fortunately none of the attacks lasted, because everyone was wanting to take their chances with the final sprint. It was a fast one to the finish line and Abbey creatively outsprinted the rest of us. Oh, congratulations to Savage junior Adrianna for finishing strong with the rest of the women's field.

This was a good race on a pretty nice course. OSU did a good job working together as a team and had a rider on a break most of the day. It was hard finding people to help chase breaks but in the end everything came back together for a sprint finish. I felt good and had a good wheel but just didn't have the strength coming down the line. I ended up fading about a hundred yards from the finish to take 10th.
