Grace following a line up the fire road climb. Oddly enough, they started all of Sport class as a mass-start, so Grace had to contend with far more than the usual traffic early in the race.

Naomi up close after crossing the bridge. No, I was not trying to blind her with the flash and slow her down! :) This photo came out really well.
Near the end

Grace keeps her eyes up as she wraps up the singletrack. All that remains ahead of her at this point is about a 1/4 mile of asphalt, and her first win in Sport W2! :D
