KATHLEEN PORTER AT JINGLE CROSS

Kat's big weekend at Jingle Cross
Our tuff girl wouldn't miss Jingle Cross
regardless of the conditions.
Kat races over 50 events a year and JC
is one of her favorite and most challenging races on her schedule.

Mt Krumpit is always a challenge with the
steep/off camber/rough/switchbacks.
But this year, like many, we had two days difficult trail conditions The big groups of racers is one of the things the makes JC so special
Kat raced with an outstanding group of Cat 2 and 3's
Jingle Cross is big enough to have age groups for the Masters
Maybe next year.
Until then she is satisfied racing with the younger womenThe "Flyover"
with racers above and below
A lot of hard racingHard racing, wonderful experience, and when it is all over
A LOT OF FUN.
Kat's next events are State X Champs
and
X Nationals at Madison in January
I'm thinking there is room on the podium for this girl in both events
