Kristen Gohr conquers more unusual circumstances during a challenging race weekend. She started the stage race with a great effort in the TT placing herself only 30 seconds off the leader. However, she will more readily remember the bear cub that wandered onto the road in front of her. Any speed or time she may have lost slowing before the bear was surely made up for as she accelerated away from the cub. Kristen maintained her time during the second stage finishing with the peloton.
As planned, Kristen attacked hard on the 21% grade climb near the end of the final stage. She caught and passed her rivals taking the KOM and then hammering a solo 8-mile effort to the finish winning both the stage and general classification.
