American Lael Wilcox beat the boys when she finished first in the Trans America Bike Race yesterday. Racing 4,400 miles over 18 days, the 29-year old endurance rider reached Yorktown, Virginia, ahead of all other 61 riders. 

Wilcox managed to pass her closest rival, Steffan Streich, when the Greek rider accidentally rode in the wrong direction, 130 miles from the finish line.
