No, I'm not talking about the popular band (recall the song "Love is all around"), I'm talking about Saturday's race, and inauguration of the new 40th avenue course.
Team Giants colours, sadly, were a little hard to see under the water-soaked plastic rain capes, but ask anyone in the B men's peleton, and you'll hear that we were a force to be reckoned with.
The race started out a little lack-lustre, but despite the weather, the pace quickened and the few rollers on the otherwise fast course took their toll on everyone's legs. Myself (Lisa), Jenelle, Claire (back in the B ranks after a post-knee-surgery-sabbatical with the C group), and our ever-quick team star Jenny T, all took our turns covering the mini-splits and attacks that threatened to get away, but the "We all win if we finish in a big group" mentality won once again, and our sprint star Jenny managed another top-5 taking 5th in the bunch sprint.
After all was said and done, the wetness wasn't so bad, and the weather even cleared up for Sunday's race. My smallest three toes on my right foot finally did thaw out - after an hour of heating myself in front of the fire.
