Course: Old course, left turns
Start Time: 11:45am
NOW MS-Society Racers: Christine Barron, Jennifer Johansen, Lauren Liscinski, Louise Keoghan and me
Weather: A breezy 68 F
Things of note: Celebrity guest rider Jennifer Johansen made her second appearance of the season today. Also, Lauren Liscinski made this her first race back after breaking her collarbone a mere three weeks ago. Broken collarbone, two nights in a hospital, surgery, a week off the bike, a copious amount of pain pills, and Lauren only missed one team race. Impressive.
The Skinny: Goal numero uno today was to protect our most dominate local rider; Louise Keoghan, who is currently first in the overall standings at the California Bicycle Racing (CBR) series. In doing so I got myself in a break with Dara Rogers of Helen’s and Melina Bernecker of LaGrange; we were shortly joined by Priscilla Calderon of Incycle and the four of us worked hard to stay off the front. In the final sprint I got third and Louise maintained her lead in the series. A great day for the team!
Lessons learned: only work as hard as your break buddies.
Final Podium: 1st: Priscilla Calderon, 2nd: Melinda Bernecker, 3rd: Julia Lafranchise
