Total shit show. Separated my shoulder. 9th seems OK, but top 5 legs if no mistakes. Shoulder kept me from racing the next 2 days.
  Katie "Boom Boom Lights Out" Arnold: 16th, Pro 1-2

Tough day in the saddle. Wonder if my number 13 had anything to do with it!

More mud than I cared to deal with. Crashed in the second lap coming onto pavement. Hurt my hip. The rest of the race was a noodlefest from there on out...

After a Cincy had one of is wettest days in it history midweek we had no idea what to expect on top of the Devou Park hill. Most of the course is on the hillside with very little flat sections.

Blair got 17th and I got 18th -
