After Track and Mountain Bike Nationals, Marian Cycling was up for cyclocross season. We spent a few weekends of hard racing preparing ourselves for Cyclocross Nationals out in Bend, Oregon where we finished 3rd place over all! Way to go Marian!!!

Now it is Road Seaon... The first race we went to was at Lindsey Wilson where the road course was challenging and really showed who has been training over the winter and we won that. I finished 12th. The next day was the crit, I finished 7th. Marian taking the overall Win for the weekend.

The next race was at Ohio State. This course was challenging, hills, wind, rain, and was very cold. I finished 6th. The crit was canclled the next day due to ice/snow We did win the road race, Marian taking the overall Win for the weekend!

Our third race was at Mizzou. A 70 mile road race that was a 35 mile loop. On Sunday we had Individual Time Trials and Team Time Trials. Marian takes the overall Win for the weekend!
