BC Provincial Track Champs - Rainy Racing

Have you ever seen the rain?! Well, I can certainly say that teammate Jenny Trew and I sure have. This past weekends adventure was all about the BC provincial track championships in Victoria; as well as waiting out the storms that seemed to devour most of our days - but not our spirits!

Between huddling under the tents to stay dry and several multi-hour trips to the coffee shop, Jenny and I dried out the competition. Even after deciding to combine the (lacking) women's field with the junior and master men, in four out of the six races held (sprints, pursuit, scratch race, keirin, points race, and 500m), we were victorious. For the remaining two races, we filled up of what was left on the podium. We were so consistent in our top three places, that people were beginning to call us the "Giant women's track team!"

All in all it was a great weekend full of fast, fun, Giant domination. But most importantly it was excellent preparation for the 2007 national track championships held in Dieppe, NB Sept. 6-9th.

Stayed tuned for some more awesome racing and results!
