She ends up 6th for women in the king of the mountain and beat me by 7 minutes.
Regardless, of the gloating I had to endure, I had an awesome weekend. Such a fun event.

Last summer I was biking in Oliver in Wine Country with my girlfriend. I'm usually quite a bit faster, and so there were several points where I would just coast and wait for her to catch up. On the way back to Osoyoos there are several steep hills. I had to stand up off my saddle just to get up the hills. She would blow right by me, sitting down. When it flattened out I'd catch up and pass her, but the next hill she'd zoom by me, as I was gasping for air in 30 degree heat. I'll be doing that route again this coming weekend, and am hoping to perform better on the hills.
