Check Out Arizona's Newest Cat 3!!

Some women are Cat 4's for only 2 months but then few enter USA CYCLING racing in their 50's.  Coming out of a competitive running background after being sidelined by injury, Christina has been encouraged by many wonderful team mates and peers.

This week after amassing 42 upgrade points, she has officially been elevated to Cat 3.   This is certainly something she deserves for her hard work and the level at which she races.

Rarely the strongest rider in a race, Christina's tenacity and skills have routinely placed her at the top of nearly every field.   Often times racing and winning in masters fields, her accomplishments were for naught in USA CYCLING upgrade system.  All these 42 points came from Cat 4 and Cat 3/4 races.

This week, she finished her Cat 4 tenure with a 5th place in a field of 21 entries at Oracle RR.   This was a terribly hard 40 mile race over a grueling course with top contenders.

The future will offer Christina options to compete in Womens Cat 3 or Masters Women.  She will likely also cross over and race Masters Men 65+, which she has done successfully (look out fellas, this can be very humbling).

As her husband and coach, I am very proud of her!
