Common Crit - Lansing

It was a capitol day in Lansing Michigan. The women's 1/2/3 race was 45 minutes + 3 laps. Tara Tasma of Team Giant won both primes uncontested, but on the first prime, Renee got gapped off from sitting on the wheel of the wrong rider. Maia was having a hard time generating power after taking a few days off the bike to watch Superweek racing. Kelly answered every one of Priority Health's attacks and counter attacks.
Coming around the last turn, Kelly hit a 4 inch indented sewer cover and her rear wheel came off the ground. She went to the "Coach Ray Dybowski cornering school" and had power to the wheel so she luckily didn't go down, but she lost position and finished second behind Amy Stauffer. Tara Tasma came in 3rd place. Renee finished 7th, Maia DNF.

In the Cat 4 race, Mary finished 2nd. She's learning and gaining experience with every race she does.
