The pressure was on as I wore bib #1 at the Sacramento Grand Prix, part of the Amgen Tour of California. The race was active, but due to the long course, no breakaways stuck. With 1 to go the team kept the race together and Ruth Winder (16 years old) started the lead out train with Olivia next in line and Cari behind me watching for the other teams like Vera Bradley Foundation, Webcor, and Tibco. On the finishing straight Lauren led it out from a long way and I was right on her wheel. I remained patient and left a small gap and kept looking in the corner of my eye waiting for the first person to sprint. As soon as I saw someone get out of the saddle I hit the gas. I lived up to my #1 bib number and delivered the victory to the line with no one even close to contesting me in the sprint.
