VBW Smackdown, hosted by our team was awesome: sunny, cool & breezy. This race day was a distant memory of the day I watched Tim race for the 1st time, 14 years ago, on this very course: Tim had lapped the field not once, but twice, but I already knew he was the one for me :) There were some exciting races at our Smackdown: Chloe started out racing Juniors 10-15, had a great time: like mother & father, like daughter. Tim, Joshua, Jon, James, Mike raced the Cat 3: Tim & Jon had a winning breakaway of 10 riders, ending with Jon placing 1st & Tim taking 9th. Kyle raced Juniors 15-18, winning 1st place!!! John Gray & Kyle raced Cat 4, finishing in the field. Yours truly raced women's Cat 4 & picked up 4th place(I was not last, finally :) Thanks to everyone who supported our race especially the folks from All About Bikes, FatFrogs & TriPower. And special thanks to Jenni & LoriAnn, who handled registration effortlessly and Joshua, master-mind behind it all.
The Dismal Dash TT in Suffolk, hosted by All About Bikes, was pretty rough: tailwind out/HEADwind back(isn't it always that way), I really enjoyed it & felt great!!! It was 45 degrees, cloudy. I averaged 22 out, but 13 back--ouch! I landed 10th, which means I really need to train on windy days now. James, Joshua, Jon & John also raced: Great races this weekend!!!

I wish Ellie could have come out and raced with the juniors, but she had a swim meet. She'll be out on the road soon enough.
Nice race and good job.
Thanks Chris, I was thinking of Ellie when Chloe was racing the Junior race. I hope she did well at her swim meet :)
Jennifer can you email me the picture that Tim took of me at the TT not cropped. Thanks
