It's chaos, baby!
July 31
Central Park, W3/4 field. 5 laps
The first three laps were nuts—leapfrogging (and being leapfrogged) by the men’s race clinic. Being neutralized every few minutes didn’t make attacks nearly as effective as they might have been otherwise.
But people tried, and it was good—Karen Ulrich of Setanta put in an excellent solo effort for the better part of the third lap, and once the men had cleared off the course, it was game on. It was good fun to see the team take an active role in making the race—we were determined that nothing would go without us, and if Mohammed didn’t come to the mountain, well, we’d take the mountain to him. But by the last lap, nothing had stuck, and we were all together coming back around the bottom of the park.
Hannah Long (Sanchez-Metro) took off like a rocket from the carousel and came within inches of holding off the field at the line, only to get tagged by Nanci Modica (Radical Media). Ann-Marie charged up to take 5th, Emma and Andrea stacked up 7th & 8th, Eve and myself somewhere pretty close behind.
