Olivia Anderson racing the Liv Bombshell Enduro

Last weekend (July 23, 2022) I participated in the Liv Bombshell Enduro. My first mountain bike race.

It was crazy. It was cool. It was hard. It was exhausting. It was inspiring. It was so many things. It was really awesome to see so many women doing such cool things. I need much improvement in many aspects of this event but it felt so rewading to participate and get through it. I had a small crash on Rock is the New Berm (Rock is the New Bruise as I like to call it) and there were many cases of my confidence and skill lacking.

The Sovereign Lake aid station was a godsend when we finally for there (pancakes! and margaritas! What!) but the best part (y’know, besides the entire experience) was the burger I got back in the village (finish). Nothing tastes better than a good burger after a hard race day.

My time came in at 38 minutes and I’m going to spend the next year trying my best to learn and improve so that next year is even better!

Thanks @livbombshellenduro for such a great event!
Thanks @jumpintoframe for the sick pictures!
