Saturday March 24: A River Of Water

There was a small turn out for Saturdays Atomic road course, this may have been due to the all too familiar weather we have been having and the fact that a few of our team members were trying to escape this relentless rain by travelling to foreign coutries to do some training in the SUN!

Besides the three hills we had to contend with every lap the course had a few unexpected obstacles. There was a section of pavement that was missing which required avoiding some pot holes and flying gravel and there was also a river of water crossing our path on the long down hill section. All of this made the driving rain seem a little less obvious as we were too busy thinking about what was coming up next.

Jenny had a great day. She was involed in an early break which caused a huge break up in the group and left many a riders behind. Sadly, it included Jenelle and myself (claire) and we were forced to finish the race in TT mode chasing other dropped riders and digging deep to find something to keep us going. Jenny, taking Jeremys advice, was patient on the final sprint up the climb and waited until the perfect moment to launch her sprint. Again, another top finish for the Jet.
