Getting the hang of this "criterium" stuff

[Tokie]

Good work Andrea! Did you have teammates working with you? I think working together with your team takes it to a whole new level (not that I have done it myself! - we're always just hanging on with the goal of not getting dropped!) Keep those race results coming! Tokie

Hi Andrea,
I haven't posted in a while,but I got on here hoping at least one of you ladies had come to ride or race Tulsa Tough. Sounds like you did well! Congrats!
I hope you will come back next year (and bring friends!). One thing is for sure about the weather... Its just like Will Rogers used to say, "If you don't like the weather in Oklahoma, just wait 5 minutes" :P Okay -so Sunday, it was about 30 min of really scary storms...but you can almost bet if the weather changes(and it will), then plans will change. Its a real shame you left so quickly. And Im sorry you didn't get to race the most challenging course. I understand why you were upset!!

I was corner marshalling at the top of the hill for all three races yesterday afternoon. Most all the ladies were really suffering in the heat/humidity.

I don't know how you do it on flat courses, let alone a hellacious hilly one like the Riverside Crit. I wouldn't want to climb that one hill even once, let alone over and over for 60min. Even a lot of the men were cracking. It wasn't pretty.

Please give us (and our weather) another try next year. Maybe by that time, we'll have the LARGEST purse in the nation (instead of just the 2nd largest).
