Karen Henry

Did you do everything you could to be prepared for today's race?

I would say that I did what I usually do prior to a race.

Did you find the race course challenging?

The course was challenging but fun.

How did you like the Mega-Dip?

Pretty cool.

Were you strong from start to finish?

I started to get tired on the third lap.

Were you happy with the way the race was run?

Yes. I thought the promoter(s) did a great job!

When did you put the hammer down?

I don't know if I ever put "the hammer down", I am typically chasing the riders in front of me.

Did you have any unusual problems?

Just my chain jamming a couple times during the race.

Did you have any interesting experiences during your race (exchanges with competitors/spectators)?

No--just on the pre-ride. It was quite entertaining listening to my brother-in-law (Scot Henry) and another teammate (Mike Keller) sing to each other. You had to be there to understand.

Is there anything you would like to add?

Thanks for a great race. Thanks to my teammates for giving me some helpful advice during our pre-ride.
