Coastal Crit 8.17.08


Coastal Crit: Juniors race -- our very own Junior, Kyle, just came home from competing in this year's Nationals! He did extremely well, hammering out each race. A proud accomplishment for our VBWheelmen Junior. Awesome job, Kyle!!!!!

9:15am Coastal Crit: womens 1,2,3,4, 40+ race. Humidity: 120%, Temp: 75, feels like 90. Race starts out great, primes about every other lap, still humid out. 6 laps into the race, I'm feeling a little claustrophobic, so I move to the back to hang on, although the back is like a whip -- lose a wheel & you fly right off...

I lost a wheel twice but managed to get back on, by that time my legs were too tired from chasing that I dropped off the back and then I was on my own, until the peloton train came around. All in all, it was a fun, fast race, good wins by the Tripower girls & no crashes. Racing like this should get me in shape for cyclox in no time -- I'm hopeful our new "coach" (yay!) will keep us all on track for the seasons to come. Awesome!
