Okay, you all are sick of hearing about our racing, so now it is time to work on your own race stories and blog entries. Come join us and have a little fun!!!

It felt a little like the last day of summer camp after racing with everyone for the last week. Familiar faces chatted pre-race, promised to exchange contact information and laughed about how our nerves had been gone for a few days. My heart rate at the start line had gone from 125 (first race) to [...]

The key word here seemed to be “hill”. On the fifth day of racing it seemed like the key word in the pack was “survival”. OK, so that was my plan. There wasn’t a whole lot of aggression in the group that morning as there was only one or two attacks that quickly got soaked [...]

Day four course brought in some fresh legs for the weekend. Unfortunately, those fresh legs didn’t help much in working to cover a break that started early and stuck for 44 laps. Four or five laps in an attack through the start/finish caused a crash that forced all but three riders to brake and swerve. [...]

It was raining when we left Milwaukee, but we were optimistic it would clear up along the 50+ mile drive to Sheboygan. It did, for the most part; but we warmed up to the sound of thunder…Three top 20 finishes today for the team. Siobahn, Ekaterina and I all hung in through relentless attacks to [...]

XPLANE Team Revolution had two top-ten finishers today! Woohoo! Me in 6th hole and our 16 year-old “composite rider,” Siobahn Jones hung on strong to sprint for 9th. That rocks! I also saw my personal highest heart-rate in the sprint. 194! If not for that, I’d be kicking myself for not hitting it harder sooner. [...]

In the video, I’m seen between the two leaders. Video quality isn’t great, but you can see me chugging up that hill!
Whew! I shake my head in disgust as I remember that race today…I quit early. It’s that simple. I lost at least one, maybe two places because I COASTED–stopped pedalling–before the line. Actually, [...]

Here’s a look at Superweek’s points leader, Kelly Benjamin, crashing while throwing her bike at the line. Carrie held her position in front of Catherine Powers for her 3rd place finish (and somehow, after a 35mph [...]

Proving Grounds/Test AreaThat is just what we did!!! We tested, and proved we could withstand the pressure today. I am sooooo proud of the XPLANE/Team Revolution crew today. They stood up, planted both feet and took names!! Now,I will let you hear it from the girls point of view.—-Sydney—-All week I’ve only [...]

Tuesday’s race was a melting pot of attempts. Attack, bridge, establish, return to the group. Attack, join the break and beg for cooperation, of those you’re off with, to stay away. We all were scratching our heads at how to make our break stick. 1st Katie gave it a go and her engine [...]
