ESG qualifier

Last year, there were 30-odd girls (yes, and they were odd girls, too) in the race to qualify for the Empire State Games. I got in the break, and then successfully introduced my chin to the pavement and took myself out of contention. I was going to be redeemed.

To my pleasure and dismay, there was light rain Saturday morning and it was the day before the Liberty Classic—ten of us lined up to race this year. Long story short, halfway though the race, we broke the field in half and on the last lap, Karen Ulrich's attack on the hill knocked off Caroline, leaving just me, Hannah Long (Metro) & Cindy Ma (Metro). Karen, Hannah and I battled out the sprint, with Karen taking it.
