As stated above, first time racing! One word: Radical. There is nothing like riding your bike and having your teammates cheer for you, and if needed do whatever it takes to get you across the finish line. Even though I was destroyed by most and in some cases all of my competitors, the VT weekend was overall a great race and great experience with an awesome team.
