Pontiac Lake Challenge - 2nd Place (XC Race) - 2019

Cat 2 Sport XC Race at Pontiac Lake Recreation Area in Pontiac MI on July 14, 2019. This was my fifth race of the 2019 season and Race #6 (of 10) in the Championship Point Series (CPS). I lead lap 1 but could tell I was having an off day. I was breathing harder than normal and my heart rate was more elevated than other races. I came into the race with some illness or allergies, but otherwise felt more or less prepared. I started to cramp and have muscle spasms in my left leg, but was able to hold on and take 2nd place. This was by far the weakest I've felt all race season.

With a 2nd place finish this race and four previous 1st places, I secured the win and first place in the CPS. This was my last race as a Cat 2/ Sport in the 40-44 age group. I will be moving up to Cat 1/Expert in the 40-49 age group where competition is far superior.
