Hello Everyone,
Let me begin by saying....Thank God for this past weekend of racing!!
Well, this past weekend of racing in Depauw, IN was composed of a 64 mile road race followed by a 5 mile TTT (Team Time Trial) on Saturday and a Criterium on Sunday. Lindsey Wilson raced a fantastic Road Race. During the first lap, attacks were going and coming. Near the end of the first lap, I counter attacked a breakaway causing confusion between the riders. This confusion was what caused the final breakaway to form, which included two Indiana riders, one from Marian, one from Purdue, and two Linsey Wilson riders......Lewis Almonte and I. Behind the breakaway, our other teammates were doing a perfect job, controling every move the other
riders made. The breakaway ended up staying away
where I took the final dash to the line, and winning the race. I was very happy with the win and pleased on how Lindsey Wilson raced. This win was moral boost for me. Followed by the Road Race was the TTT (Team Time Trial). The TTT team was composed of Kip Spaude, Clayton Omer, and Peter Smith. During the TTT we did the best we co
uld since we didn't have a complete Aero set up. We finished third!!!!! Well deserved.
Sunday was the criterium. The race was an hour long, around a park. On the first few laps, attacks were coming and going. Once again, I counter attacked another rider causing the peloton to split. The wind was a major factor, making the race more difficult. After I made my move, a 12 rider breakaway was formed, where Lindsey Wilson had 2 riders in it.....Kip Spaude and I. From that breakaway, another attacked was launched causing the break to split in half. My teammate made the split, which left me a free ride in the second group. Later on I tried to bridge across to the leading group, but my efforts were not enough. We finished
6th, 8th, and 10th for the day.
Overall, Lindsey Wilson had a fine weekend of racing taking the top
places in each event.....not bad for a program that is growing and
will continue to grow.
Thanks for reading,
