05-Mar-11 SAN FAIRY ANN SPRING CRITERIUM (HOG HILL).

This was Michelle's chance to take part in her first-ever race. In cold conditions at Hog Hill, she had a day of mixed blessings. She did not finish the full fifteen lap race - she was pulled out (by the race organisation) with about three laps remaining as she had been dropped from the leading bunch. However many were pulled out before her, and she outlasted both the other two lady competitors. The vital knowledge and experience gained, mollified her sense of anger and frustration at not finishing and she is eagerly anticipating her next race.
