RAAM Newsletter: Women Of Ultra Racing…The New Generation!

I’m beyond flattered to be mentioned in this article by Race Across America about the New Generation of Women Ultra-Racers. . . Sarah Cooper is kinda my hero(ine), so to be mentioned in the same write-up as her is a bit of a dream come true!  (This was a complete surprise when it hit my inbox yesterday!)

I’ve recently decided to focus a lot more of my attention on Ultra Racing AND Gravel (AKA “My Happy Places”!) in 2019, and this helps to re-affirm my decision  (More details on 2019 plans coming to my blog soon!)

In the meantime, if any more of my roadie friends are interested in dipping their toes in the Ultra Waters, Jamie & I are more than happy to answer questions and provide advice/guidance from our experiences so far!

Excerpt:

Christie Tracy (USA) Relatively new to the ultracycling scene is Christie Tracy from Austin, TX. A regular at the Driveway Series, a weekly crit series organized by Andrew Willis and Holland Racing (which also puts on the 6-12-24 Hour Pace Bend race and the Texas Time Trials), Christie has been adding ultra races to her busy race schedule. In 2017, she won the 200-mile race at RAAM Challenge Texas, and followed it up by winning the 12-hour race at the 6-12-24 Hour World Time Trial Championships in 2018. She will be defending her title at this year’s WTTC in Borrego Springs.
