No such thing as bad publicity....

"Seemingly on cue from previous years the Bianchi/Grand Performance team took to the front in the closing laps too early, looking impressive but posing no real threat. This was followed by a more significant but expected move my the well-manned Texas Roadhouse team for the final laps."

Chaos ensues in the last 10 laps. Safest place is the very front. Plan was to stay at the front and let Texas Roadhouse get the photo op on the last lap while we latched on. Marcotte was 6th.

No real threat? Maybe. Maybe not. Three podiums, and two podium near misses in the last six editions aren't so bad. Our number one goal is to be in position to win. We've accomplished that 100% of the time at that race, circumstances dictate the finishing positions. There will be an Elite Crit stars and stripes jersey hanging at GP some day.

(From the newest member of the PureJenius.net staff (who, by the way, is paid >well So I've been perusing the MCF board tonight and I still can't believe how many guys are whining about the races and race categories that promoters choose for races. I'm pretty good at whining too, so here goes: I'm a 35+ Cat 3 woman who will show up for the St. Cloud Crit and have to toe the line with Cat 1/2 guys - I don't give a shit that they're 50+, their license still says Cat 1 or 2 (and 3/4/5) and they race like Cat 1/2s. What's that you say, it's a ROY race, so we'll be scored separately? Okay cool, then I'll completely overlook the fact that the race will blow apart on about lap 1.5 and I'll spend the remainder of the race with 3 or 4 other women if I'm lucky or I'll assume the time trial position and ride around in circles by myself. Should be fun. Oh, I should shut my trap because if I think the 50+ guys are too fast and furious, I s...

Good thing I'm racing 35+

Dammit. We played so well but still lost. Here's some highlights from week 2 of our football league. we actually scored. we had a playbook (we laughed when we saw the team we played last week had a playbook. They kicked our asses) Strats is our go-to female QB. She connected on all of her passes. Two of them stick out: one perfectly thrown interception to the other team (we wear yellow shirts, she threw it to a girl wearing a white shirt), and one hail-mary to the end zone. I didn't drop any of the passes that were to me. Nobody got hurt...yet. I can almost smell a torn ACL heading our way. I'm going to hang an old tire in the back yard so Strats can hone her QB skills a little more.
