What was the most frustrating win? Winding trails – 2001? Neck in neck with Colleen for the entire race, not letting up for 1 second, not sure what’s going to happen, going all out for thefinish line and 30 seconds from the finish line her chain falls off. I always wonder what would have happened if her chain hadn’t fallen off.
