Race Report from 759

Flandrien. A Belgin friend told me that is what
they call racers who are not afraid of the snow, rain, and cobbles. So I would say the dEVa's are all Flandriens as of yesterday!

The weather conditions couldn't have been worse and our results couldn't have been better!


It looks like Jen Brummit - 760 placed 3rd and Liisa Ingimundson (yours truly) 759 placed 4th. And from what we can tell Carelle, Sigrid and Jo were very close on our wheels!

So as far as the race report...
The group stayed together as a pack for the whole race, with some jostling for position for the front throughout and then a sprint at the end. I would have like to have seen some break aways and some pursuits but I myself didn't know if I could finish what I started if I made one happen! Ha!

Jen held tight to a riders wheel who was pulling at the front the whole race and positioned her perfectly for the sprint at the end. Myself, Jo, Sigrid and Carelle were staying up front jumping wheels and working together to stay up front.
Next time I say the dEVas should pull out together and attack!!!

I think everyone would agree it was a blast and a huge success for our first race and the first race of the season. Thank you too all the EV'er who made it happen. Thanks to Lisa and Claire for the coaching and the race clinic the day before. I think the race tactics lessons helped all of us.

I also think everyone would agree that trying to change out of wet cold clothes after the race in a four door Volvo, might have been more challenging than the race itself!
