3/6/10 Spring Fling Criterium Series

It was a great day for Santa Fe Trails on Saturday!

Masters 35 + - Brendan Sheehan took 10th. Also racing was Rob Wilshusen

Ladies Category 4 - Shawn Morelli took 5th place, Gayle McFarland took 6th place, Michelle Krawczyk took 8th! Also racing were Dorothy Hall and Paula Burton. These ladies were awesome! They all stayed with the pack for most of the race. Shawn and Michelle were in the chase group going into turn four. Shawn's front wheel was struck by another racer and all three ladies fell. Both Shawn and Michelle got back on the bike and finished the race! Just like Lance Armstrong on Luz Ardiden!

I am told by Richard Paz and Ron Stratton that the men's 5 team did well also. I am waiting for written confirmation of their results.

Men's Category 5 - 35+

James Hall 5th
Mark Madden 6th
Doug Harding 8th
Sean Smith 9th
Also racing were: Richard Arnold, Ken Govenettio, Richard Paz, Ron Stratton, and Eric Walthall.

Men's Category 5 - 34 and under

Neil Snyder
Josh Walkup

All reports are that the men were greatly improved over last week. Ken said that his wheels made him Turbo Fast! Richard Paz was "right behind Doug Harding in the finish"!
