Race Report: 2025 CBR Carson #4 - Women’s P12

Race: CBR Carson #4 - Women’s P12

Date: 3/30/25 

AVRT racers: Sue Lin Holt, Thialor Mize, Rosalind Patterson, Whitney Post

Top Result: Thialor Mize - 6th

Course: Longer course. 4 corner crit. They reversed it this time, which was very uncommon. Short but fast downhill after the finishing straight and a nice smooth little bump on the backside of the course. Climb out of T2 and into T3. Lended itself to a breakaway. Jennifer Wheeler capitalized on that and used the bump on the back to sling by with momentum and get a gap. 

Nutrition: My beloved basmati rice bowl for breakfast. Two SIS gels and some EF mix. Very good combo for autoimmune athletes or people who can’t tolerate a lot of fiber before a race. Isotonic stuff is a game changer. 

Report (written by Thialor): Same thing happened here that happened at Chuck Pontius earlier. Some domestic pros showed up and gave us a good fitness finder test. I really enjoyed the harder race, it reminded me of the national level ACC events, but shorter. I tried to follow a move from Fount earlier on and found myself a little tanked to follow the real move, just like CP. Whitney, Roz, and Sue Lin did a master class of getting together and riding for me, but there was some chaos at the end that resulted in a messy bunch sprint. I can’t stress how hard both Whitney and Roz especially had gone in our leadout train in the last 3 laps. Unfortunately there was a bit of chaos
