Good Luck Giro Gals!

Anne and Kristy,

Good luck this weekend at the Giro! It's going to be a beautiful weekend, and I hope that you both have great races! I can't wait to hear the reports!

Kristy - I'll be seeing you at Fulton...bummer that I'll be sitting in a nice, neat, mostly pink Cat 4 pack (wait...it's Cat 4, probably not so neat!)! Good luck with those 1's and 2's...you'll have some Sturdy company, I'm sure!

Again...good luck, ladies!

Hey Sarah -- thanks!!

It should be a fun time.

And Fulton...50 miles for the 1-2-3 race. I've been doing some big rides, but have never raced that distance. I'm sure I'll learn a thing or two.

Are you racing this weekend?

I'm really looking forward to hearing about your Altoonah experience. That's so cool.

Not this weekend, no. I had this scheduled as a weekend off to get ready for Toona between the Dutch Country stage race and Fulton. Then Dutch Country went to the dogs, and I have been having a slow July. That's ok, though...gives me more time to work on my climbing before the 6 mile ascent at Toona! 6 miles! Wow....AND, I've been designated as a domestique for Naomi to try to win Queen of the Mountains points! Should be exhausting!

Sarah - thank you very much. I'm happy because the weather is supposed to be really nice and will def make the experience 1,000x more enjoyable. Good luck at Altoona and work your *** off for your teammate.

Kristy - if you want to come hang with my team during warmups or just chilling, please feel free. There should be ~6 of us racing at the Giro. Oh, Teresa isn't competing, she got a boo boo and is not allowed to race...so that's one you can cross off your list.

I'm sooooo not looking forward to 40 laps on that crit!

Cool, Anne. Thanks.

That's too bad about Teresa. I saw her name was moved from Cat 3 to 123 on bikereg and thought "go get em!".

Have you done these races before? I was trying to find times for the TT and did manage to find some from a few years ago where Betty finished in 17 min and some change.

[equus123]

No, this is the first time for me in the Giro so it's all new to me.

If I can remember correctly Teresa said she finished in 19:__ last year so I'm guessing the times will be around 20 min, +/- 5 min? Yeah, I hate when they don't post results or times from races, especially time trials.
