Starting with bib 16, she had a long wait because they fix the course after 15. So it's the biggest race of her life and she has to stand there for an eternity. And she still ripped off the winning run by a big margin.

@albertolondon Yup. A little course work was done, but the main reason for the wait was due to a scheduled TV break. It just gave her a little extra time to relax & focus. Looks like it worked!
