Like the ebb and flow of nature, the women's team was growing for a few years and now it's shrinking. There are only three Wolvering women left (only one remaining in Michigan) and our results will be posted on the <a href="http://www.wsc-elite-road.blogspot.com/">Wolverine Sports Club Elite Team Blog</a>. No separation of boys and girls anymore. Just racers. </div><br /><div align="left">We had a slow start to the season as Maia and Kelly have been nursing injuries. Maia had a severe hamstring strain that stubbornly refused weeks of physical therapy attention. Kelly had surgery to repair a severed ligament in her left thumb that was damaged in a crash in which she also tore a muscle in the right elbow. Both women were sidelined for a while, but are now on the upswing and trying to gain fitness as quickly as possible.</div><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5201146363138438946" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhh-JSpiRo4_RX9ZxHhB-nJspNK88YR-JQc8zPBtlwdbJBqaxZBhOWVbDmLCjOj4Jr9CK0kutpIULuNeF6KaCH08dIYEfaNqHase8_Zoxm4k06g7SST3pKLpxV42gQrOtQ7c2aKNWq9L_aW/s400/maia+kelly.jpg" border="0" /> <div align="left">Renee spent the winter running <a href="http://alabamacyclingcamp.com/">Alabama Cycling Camp</a> cranking out the base miles and raced a couple long road races in the late winter and even finished second in one of the 83 mile Georgia Cup races. She looked lean and mean at the Willow Time Trial. We'll miss Renee as she has moved to Boulder Colorado to work and train on the velodrome out there at the <a href="http://www.usoc.org/197.htm">Olympic Training Center</a> in Colorado Springs. Keep your eyes peeled for the upcoming Colorado Cycling Camp to be the sister of Alabama Cycling Camp which will still be in business next winter.</div><br /><div align="left">Kelly is also leaving Michigan. She'll be rolling in the hilly farmlands around Madison Wisconsin as soon as the school year is over. </div><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5201146367433406258" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisP6pMfAVeufJgBpSnfQ6bR10IZQLEdRAELxaKodNOw-f0_cMHimNTmXEGhJImks5-fH0BZtGCcCnlVl9_l2DTfyrwiV80yeLyBqUXLRFrY8pJfxIU0NOgLGkTGKl4JeyYAn4iV5QdJB4z/s400/renee+kacey+kelly.jpg" border="0" /><span style="font-size:130%;"> There will be no more posts on this blog.

So much for "you'll need that long sleeve skinsuit". The heat was also radiating up off the pain pit, otherwise knows as the beach.

I have no idea how it compares as Saturday was the first time I've done it. I like the attitude of some of the women who do it. They say "I don't care if I finish last.

The course included a chicane followed by a slight uphill. The first few laps were very fast and strung out. Kelly was right on Mackenzie's wheel and she wasn't getting away this time. Several laps later, a crash happened in the left-right chicane taking two PH riders out of the race (Cheryl slid out and Leslie rode over her) and creating a break of 5 which Christy and Kelly were in. Christy won a prime for some sweet sunglasses, and Kelly pulled her back into the break after the counter attack. Christy continued to ride strong and Kelly fell off the back of the break. Still tired and scabbed up from Superweek? Maybe a little skiddish in the corners after the crash? Who knows what goes through the mind in those ever important split seconds in a bike race. Christy sprinted for a 2nd place finish and Kelly sprinted against and beat the three others who joined her and took the 5th place position.<br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5095627322813101266" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCQcdb2WtZ4dzZRKeJa25ats835WDbcUZOnHNIQrDMMOeZnpmYHG5x5b0IPidmgztB9OwhRblBhhk6kotzGVEY23gmzhXKEyMQZHVvx10AXXrhfQcr8kLflMRGcl6JJh80Qo_MjpPT869C/s400/ada+006.JPG" border="0" /><br />Not sure the official results are correct, as Sara McGuire was in the sprint for 6th or 7th place. <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5095627331403035874" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIdF2ehcvCGNYDA6EN4sCEhAopns_d_zuix5Fw8yznFCFRKvqEPO0mxRLJhc4fd1OV9dK2GNH6Av4F19ENX6n1S-ELvlp-Ym7g_TuwnOu3M7dhB-tcFnQahmUmpmcJx6W_XFOSFiE4A1N3/s400/ada+008.JPG" border="0" /> </p><br /><br /><br /><p>The Ada Bike Shop put on a nice race.

It was yet another flat crit with two over-90 degree corners. Christy was the only Wolverine woman racing. She got in a break with another woman, but the other woman wasn't strong enough to hang with Christy and fell off. Christy rode a few laps solo and decided there was too much race left and decided to sit up and wait for the peloton. The finish was a pack sprint and Christy pulled in a 4th place finish. She was on the wheel of the series leader and said she couldn't believe how much power this woman could put into one pedal stroke.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiXYrNjZeliMFlSojJ3Vih0MJpjxtcNDmRVjV-15NuBpPu41F6SNA_RBllKPXuM7AUf7_l4ELJvzXd1Z73klvdtLGrqWEr-VHWzvLL7wWnGRpsLF5CWKMYLMsaK04MmlQFLCIvy752l6-n/s1600-h/superweek+day+5+027.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5092796471213601650" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiXYrNjZeliMFlSojJ3Vih0MJpjxtcNDmRVjV-15NuBpPu41F6SNA_RBllKPXuM7AUf7_l4ELJvzXd1Z73klvdtLGrqWEr-VHWzvLL7wWnGRpsLF5CWKMYLMsaK04MmlQFLCIvy752l6-n/s400/superweek+day+5+027.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGgZv5zHyyj3NsjKwbZ7WqhugbnfiYVNeik_t6YJYSg4xAM9bCQJhFYd7e94ZyY8k8imTwliZadh2TWeRtZZY0RbNew0zV8Ow4SCjDnMqIsP7YhbzVavQsoYdf9Ucy7hRmrVZfPN7fUi3a/s1600-h/superweek+day+7+results.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5093018267619734402" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGgZv5zHyyj3NsjKwbZ7WqhugbnfiYVNeik_t6YJYSg4xAM9bCQJhFYd7e94ZyY8k8imTwliZadh2TWeRtZZY0RbNew0zV8Ow4SCjDnMqIsP7YhbzVavQsoYdf9Ucy7hRmrVZfPN7fUi3a/s400/superweek+day+7+results.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />The Wolverine Women had a fantastic Superweek!

Of course the finish was up the hill. About a quarter of the field didn't finish the race.<br /><br />Christy and Kelly rode strong and smart the entire race and were dancing on the pedals up the hill each lap. Feeling battered, beat up and tired, Kelly took no risks in the last corners and finished 11th. Also cautious in the corners, Christy finished 8th.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2UebYOAFyi7kkvEzP03PsIXyehH5j7cyW5nsY1v8nmYipKu9h2DTizZCvuGP0KAYvnzrMqXE9KVBLi0CrLjbLzyi-v0x5l-fH_hJqsrLThooFDO6BuKHU3qogqj7hByHI7dM0d-pMpkOt/s1600-h/superweek+day+6+002.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5092785884119216898" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2UebYOAFyi7kkvEzP03PsIXyehH5j7cyW5nsY1v8nmYipKu9h2DTizZCvuGP0KAYvnzrMqXE9KVBLi0CrLjbLzyi-v0x5l-fH_hJqsrLThooFDO6BuKHU3qogqj7hByHI7dM0d-pMpkOt/s400/superweek+day+6+002.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcTRgynWIcRDO2occhypzO1uiMwFgst1sqsmxaa0YjT7VSGkKIDGUFmcrXrND3YCUjZnukdDuyGtaISZ_oLhBBPd0Z0uN2TtexVHZwnihQnURAtzXrElgValV9QqSaRHQSEjS0UvbFMvtR/s1600-h/superweek+day+6+007.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5092785892709151506" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcTRgynWIcRDO2occhypzO1uiMwFgst1sqsmxaa0YjT7VSGkKIDGUFmcrXrND3YCUjZnukdDuyGtaISZ_oLhBBPd0Z0uN2TtexVHZwnihQnURAtzXrElgValV9QqSaRHQSEjS0UvbFMvtR/s400/superweek+day+6+007.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-QsqXIDzhkPPhT3-G1cEaHYZ5_ZooWJEkdFejLJ763dTMIHS0y7-MtnSvXIViSW0Icd4UJAJ6CtUSFxx3mqBkw9XDrUMlP15bOT45FiKgXSU9_9o4HcDJFXjRP6egrRDdu4olfhZr0gv5/s1600-h/superweek+day+6+014.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5092785901299086114" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-QsqXIDzhkPPhT3-G1cEaHYZ5_ZooWJEkdFejLJ763dTMIHS0y7-MtnSvXIViSW0Icd4UJAJ6CtUSFxx3mqBkw9XDrUMlP15bOT45FiKgXSU9_9o4HcDJFXjRP6egrRDdu4olfhZr0gv5/s400/superweek+day+6+014.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvXxQSU1MRASsUvL0-SiN5VOvnSl9EypEBo0LzPuqo74lIS6MZsqBJTxQSrixMm96hwfBJDKRcR3ZQJqY4Skx3BdQL8OwdR7P3ZXHY6T1B45Djnct-3JXEvTRjNzQKOHXOCw3tTC7g2Op5/s1600-h/superweek+day+6+011.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5092790763202065202" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvXxQSU1MRASsUvL0-SiN5VOvnSl9EypEBo0LzPuqo74lIS6MZsqBJTxQSrixMm96hwfBJDKRcR3ZQJqY4Skx3BdQL8OwdR7P3ZXHY6T1B45Djnct-3JXEvTRjNzQKOHXOCw3tTC7g2Op5/s400/superweek+day+6+011.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQyMK_yXSbXBJ6UVi3fWLj_gCDt6LGk05XsryyKeunTCTLxarJYuAEkZS20PbQMtEeZ9WZyUtj_ZUE3tPlg3jDepeYZTi9ZUOqDvao2JT7FEH03GYGVL6Xv2IRL9XOIMht1RumQJNEAj9N/s1600-h/superweek+day+6+013.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5092790767497032514" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQyMK_yXSbXBJ6UVi3fWLj_gCDt6LGk05XsryyKeunTCTLxarJYuAEkZS20PbQMtEeZ9WZyUtj_ZUE3tPlg3jDepeYZTi9ZUOqDvao2JT7FEH03GYGVL6Xv2IRL9XOIMht1RumQJNEAj9N/s400/superweek+day+6+013.JPG" border="0" /></a>WSC womenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10882351402754626097noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-106100565568504805.post-31789245423136579372007-07-28T16:44:00.000-04:002007-07-30T12:05:17.464-04:00Superweek Day 5 - Chase Food Folks & Spokes<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiX8Mip0osY9GsSFOM9dUuP3HUfPq7Gn3f47tFTzChVYoyfKFm_IR6fVte6I2yeVdtgjP7Dk0HUsuN6_1pxe_0jlRC91UxWlOBmRE1Jq0TBBOD7jJhbw3jba1RkjMiu27dypdSCNzZQCpp0/s1600-h/superweek+day+5+032.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiX8Mip0osY9GsSFOM9dUuP3HUfPq7Gn3f47tFTzChVYoyfKFm_IR6fVte6I2yeVdtgjP7Dk0HUsuN6_1pxe_0jlRC91UxWlOBmRE1Jq0TBBOD7jJhbw3jba1RkjMiu27dypdSCNzZQCpp0/s400/superweek+day+5+032.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5092355064539689666" /></a><br />Chase Food Folks & Spokes in Kenosha was a flat 4-corner crit with a little chicane. The inside of the course had an awesome festival happening with arts and crafts, food, rides (the barf machine), and lots of spectators. The organizers of Superweek do an amazing job organizing the events, moving the equpiment, organizing volunteers, posting results, etc. It's amazing how fast the men's P/1/2 results are printed after they finish with 160 guys. If you're a racer, and you've never raced Superweek, you're missing out on a fantastic experience.<br /><br />Christy was really pumped and excited at the beginning of the race and showed her strength during an incredible race. There was a four woman break that took off after a crash that Christy got tangled in when the woman in front of her went into the barricade. Christy whent to the Sram tent, Jose fixed her brake and gave her a new wheel and she jumped back in. A couple laps later she executed a perfect attack to bridge to the break-away taking another woman with her. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUuUJvIih6tnHwz0VA02EuGUtjCOqWaGWo6wB-l0XW8ttAief3wRA3Zt77uRXIedKQthShUvG5aV6SZVz0wDB2cQri13bwDiTwj21tSCW1wor_zgVpiYbd-Wws2Ohv4m8a5i9PhXyDBdyb/s1600-h/superweek+day+5+009.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUuUJvIih6tnHwz0VA02EuGUtjCOqWaGWo6wB-l0XW8ttAief3wRA3Zt77uRXIedKQthShUvG5aV6SZVz0wDB2cQri13bwDiTwj21tSCW1wor_zgVpiYbd-Wws2Ohv4m8a5i9PhXyDBdyb/s400/superweek+day+5+009.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5092354128236819106" /></a><br />They worked together really well and caught the break in about 8 laps.

The race was good and fast with primes thrown in like crazy. Kelly and Maia launched their version of the "Wolverine Cannon" attacking and counter attacking and countering the counter. It was a blast. Maia says that before Superweek she didn't feel comfortable handling her bike in a pack, and after three races, she says "Now. Yeeeeaaaaahhhhhhh". (Translate: I feel comfortable and feel like I know what I'm doing.) It started raining with 2 laps to go. Kelly was sitting in 4th wheel in a break a few seconds ahead of the pack. Perfect. Take that last turn. Same line as everyone else. Not too fast. WHOOOOOOOOSH. There goes the back wheel. Crash. There goes the win. Dang.<br />Maia remembered to work hard to move up near the end and did it well. She was trying to bridge the small gap and get on Kelly's wheel. She was almost there. Saw Kelly go down. Slammed on the brakes. She says it was just like the track. She sprinted from a dead stop and crossed the finish line in 10th place. In the money. Yay Maia!!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlllCBN3Uy9jyrVj9rOKPrIxc0aW5d81J_uBWY4I46ZgcDpiDiUn6Ymn17vD-e8AVbKJWSuQJfdc4JrhvTqBrkQ2AibpJCzezXOGt9ieLeuNT_GwP3vFxBeRjN1tp4IH5IwCDOVjx8bACO/s1600-h/superweek+day+4+004.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlllCBN3Uy9jyrVj9rOKPrIxc0aW5d81J_uBWY4I46ZgcDpiDiUn6Ymn17vD-e8AVbKJWSuQJfdc4JrhvTqBrkQ2AibpJCzezXOGt9ieLeuNT_GwP3vFxBeRjN1tp4IH5IwCDOVjx8bACO/s400/superweek+day+4+004.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5091737710235529794" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivFPaaQ_e7fNLEqUViD0OIHZ5IJAAR2TlxKq-AugXDOGRe2fRBOnKInqXe5BKDCYbYh6-fZXsRTz9o7y4VpwkLGfopM5Aa90tkx7JlGYo2Ju4O47nwA4NrYqHWeH9Rn5E24mYBV59_BSBL/s1600-h/superweek+day+4+005.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivFPaaQ_e7fNLEqUViD0OIHZ5IJAAR2TlxKq-AugXDOGRe2fRBOnKInqXe5BKDCYbYh6-fZXsRTz9o7y4VpwkLGfopM5Aa90tkx7JlGYo2Ju4O47nwA4NrYqHWeH9Rn5E24mYBV59_BSBL/s400/superweek+day+4+005.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5091737705940562482" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4UCE-Ca4HYkMfE1l7klUd0fgzDWqfSW35_yFMtPXjVqb2FoRtb139C77TUPkxhTTAjVGNp1wwGxwLJy50DZwGRzBMM_h628fgwxHCzDzGBnV6wKG3eAEvSMNs073x0vTlLwKuUCPRf0uC/s1600-h/superweek+day+4+007.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4UCE-Ca4HYkMfE1l7klUd0fgzDWqfSW35_yFMtPXjVqb2FoRtb139C77TUPkxhTTAjVGNp1wwGxwLJy50DZwGRzBMM_h628fgwxHCzDzGBnV6wKG3eAEvSMNs073x0vTlLwKuUCPRf0uC/s400/superweek+day+4+007.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5091737714530497106" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDVDf2Jxjh3jxmCHzu9MVQv19nHSHwZW9cOKkfz9YzxM0AIE50i7pooYvS1m0wV1kPRRvdNjxrjOoHDbpT7JXbSOYgd6P2Mud9maR-3foy0obfTpeax3ttv-NqBuM7J2TIAdS0J3A2oBE3/s1600-h/superweek+day+4+008.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDVDf2Jxjh3jxmCHzu9MVQv19nHSHwZW9cOKkfz9YzxM0AIE50i7pooYvS1m0wV1kPRRvdNjxrjOoHDbpT7JXbSOYgd6P2Mud9maR-3foy0obfTpeax3ttv-NqBuM7J2TIAdS0J3A2oBE3/s400/superweek+day+4+008.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5091738766797484674" /></a><br />The day's results.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGSmqGfAFCG_oCjLh_hi0v4zKOfm2SBmNAiruTStRWb5YnIjbDnd7WF9IUagAnAjCV2sNouIaO_WIHzYuPsBFaqAbIRFY-vYxpLvMiGF_pnHw_Wrn_1fm1ePdUwRS6_ubvXQBAMOzIYWSe/s1600-h/day+4+results.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGSmqGfAFCG_oCjLh_hi0v4zKOfm2SBmNAiruTStRWb5YnIjbDnd7WF9IUagAnAjCV2sNouIaO_WIHzYuPsBFaqAbIRFY-vYxpLvMiGF_pnHw_Wrn_1fm1ePdUwRS6_ubvXQBAMOzIYWSe/s400/day+4+results.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5091737718825464418" /></a><br />The overall results put Kelly in 8th and Maia in 18th.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQNGRjRqBbuLwBktnvcZdEnLpTTeIyZwH3vjvMPlmUywyEipCzHzTTjWKzVKyl9erfgS6f3TqUBv1mf-uGBtu0IhneBPGBfD29vNl9lGd4CuXrdgJbds4ddqEhBQAdc3MGiEFubc9zCl-n/s1600-h/day+4+overall.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQNGRjRqBbuLwBktnvcZdEnLpTTeIyZwH3vjvMPlmUywyEipCzHzTTjWKzVKyl9erfgS6f3TqUBv1mf-uGBtu0IhneBPGBfD29vNl9lGd4CuXrdgJbds4ddqEhBQAdc3MGiEFubc9zCl-n/s400/day+4+overall.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5091737727415399026" /></a>WSC womenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10882351402754626097noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-106100565568504805.post-82925364878564966712007-07-26T11:11:00.001-04:002007-07-30T12:04:31.228-04:00Superweek Day 3- Bellin Health Village of Howard Cycling ClassicBellin Health Village of Howard Cycling Classic in Green Bay was a nice flat crit with a strip mall on one side and a farm field with big bales of hay on the other.

Maia and Kelly mixed it up as well. Kelly got in a two woman break, but it didn't stick. There were lots of attempts at breaks, but nothing really got too far away. The back side of the course had a slight up hill rise and had a pretty good head wind. Coming into the finish, Kelly jumped too early and had a good gap, but couldn't hold the 34.8 mph to the line and ended up 4th. Maia finished 16th and thought it was a really fun race. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinqnT8e0SljH7gp49r7OzSkbPgzAsWK-zsnDrx9EGAAZY7u2GGO0ZC9SCY0QuFcFlZkzgpqyLhLN0whPR9fi-I59Ru3J8jBgXmFiAyKjk8gVcVqGwFDRfU8-f7DSKLaijzkrqf7kL45SI9/s1600-h/day+results.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinqnT8e0SljH7gp49r7OzSkbPgzAsWK-zsnDrx9EGAAZY7u2GGO0ZC9SCY0QuFcFlZkzgpqyLhLN0whPR9fi-I59Ru3J8jBgXmFiAyKjk8gVcVqGwFDRfU8-f7DSKLaijzkrqf7kL45SI9/s400/day+results.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5091625117667865010" /></a><br />Overall, Kelly ended the day in 3rd, and Maia ended in 21st.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBvQgNuPOVIyZcE3apIZy8np-lD-muOSHTS0pPrcrmDI6BEv2XxV9PWdmludrMmYQA2wTZjdivNMDl56eYPlzE67X0n9QzXZGahoKNy-msXPIeduMif80d1aPe4eOtV__jy0egdkHRkLga/s1600-h/overall.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBvQgNuPOVIyZcE3apIZy8np-lD-muOSHTS0pPrcrmDI6BEv2XxV9PWdmludrMmYQA2wTZjdivNMDl56eYPlzE67X0n9QzXZGahoKNy-msXPIeduMif80d1aPe4eOtV__jy0egdkHRkLga/s400/overall.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5091625121962832322" /></a><br />The money winners for the day.

The race included many attacks and one very brief solo break and came down to a pack finish. Kelly finished 7th and Maia finished 22nd. The uphill finish was pretty challenging. Kelly was sitting in 7th wheel around the last turn thinking she might pass a few in the sprint, but the field finished right in the order they were sitting. Maia felt pretty strong for the day and was pretty happy about her finish. She learned not to sit too far back and get mixed up with the women who brake around the turns.

Renee, Mary and Maia don't really like climbing hills, and Kelly had a bad day, so she decided to save her legs for Superweek next week and dropped back to keep Renee company and enjoy the beautiful course. <br /><br />The best news of the day was that we added the talented Christy Keely to our squad. Her first race as a Cat 3 was Cedar Creek and she did an aweome job there. Christy finished 7th in Fenton after the squirrly Cat 5 men's pack took down two women (Christy being one of them) when they passed. Small damage to the body and bike. She's also got one of the coolest personalities around. For formality sake, in the following picture from left to right is Mary Ward, Maia Orabi, Christy Keely, Kelly Paterson, Renee Schroeder.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8jfCDCZnPvDUzIo6Nluh4UK7bEdRxQdoHj78UN7pMmlWUQNUWggZkLIS4JymBe8NNt12ky0z1HHumK0FgzQN0RjDjRgAgfmzfobEFTRK1rkSpnARDLpsVBB-2XIoZEWVAyjdTl2CC9omM/s1600-h/womens+team+2007.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8jfCDCZnPvDUzIo6Nluh4UK7bEdRxQdoHj78UN7pMmlWUQNUWggZkLIS4JymBe8NNt12ky0z1HHumK0FgzQN0RjDjRgAgfmzfobEFTRK1rkSpnARDLpsVBB-2XIoZEWVAyjdTl2CC9omM/s400/womens+team+2007.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5090376858437726146" /></a><br />The course in Fenton is absolutly beautiful and it was awesome to see such large women's fields in both races.

Kelly answered every one of Priority Health's attacks and counter attacks.<br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5087828520812370386" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyZM7Ua2JL1c14RSM08K8AwRLLUnGl32bcKkQUMN0bucW2t4E5Aj-yl6z877EbQpB73Z1os_mpW6dg5nzhHVUMfblL4pJYm2jSaqp5ECJyBV67EcBoRT5cAE1Jz1Tpdm95f-6wye6a53mC/s400/IMG_0987.JPG" border="0" />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.<br /><br />Click the link to see a nice video of the field from the pedestrian bridge.<br /><br /><object height="350" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/aDk81zJfe78"><br /><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/aDk81zJfe78" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350"></embed> </object><br /><br />In the Cat 4 race, Mary finished 2nd.

CONGRATULATIONS MAIA!<br /><br /><br />Dexter was a tough course and Renee and Maia finished 15th and 17th respectively. Maia was reminded of the importance of staying on a wheel, and continues to show her super positive attitude that's pleasantly contagious.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoqkLmf-cgAalTloxhL2o1lCGnsseT10NRF7pGA504n86ueeulJofsnV78JexETqXrMeozXQRVs2NPQi5dl5-bK7dm3lnebJSHxq61FbIy9sL1ieqkVXFi8feAF8UWZ_8c_KIaXA8TN-sg/s1600-h/maia+at+dexter.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5085358881239294514" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoqkLmf-cgAalTloxhL2o1lCGnsseT10NRF7pGA504n86ueeulJofsnV78JexETqXrMeozXQRVs2NPQi5dl5-bK7dm3lnebJSHxq61FbIy9sL1ieqkVXFi8feAF8UWZ_8c_KIaXA8TN-sg/s400/maia+at+dexter.jpg" border="0" /></a>Renee still hasn't regained top form after her illness, but after a good performance at Ciociarro last Thursday, she feels like she is on her way back.

The VO2data are output in ml of oxygen per kg body mass per minute.<br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5081150152591630882" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiUEQo5QADO7-zIN8IPEY3ZSnmPq0GOG3KG0uPDgkOHgDA3hBKI7BWxrhAboYCBISsAAiRHW3m7v-cMJvfzG9f5dGHiHxpjoPCPxms4IwYKXMYD4tRRyB3MagvUBY5pX6gtjF8IEmW1P5q/s400/vo2+testing+1.JPG" border="0" /><br />Women have a 15-20% lower VO2Max than men because of a higher body fat and lower hemoglobin levels in the blood. Muscle is more metabolically active than fat and thus requires more O2. So the more muscle there is, the higher the O2 consumption. Testosterone promotes the production of hemoglobin. Consequently, one liter of male blood has 150-160 grams of hemoglobin. One liter of female blood has 130-140 grams of hemoglobin.<br />Knowing these numbers can help an athlete pinpoint areas of improvement.<br /><br />Nick Tonkin from Engineered Athletics <a href="http://www.engineeredathletics.com/">http://www.engineeredathletics.com/</a> in Warren does VO2 Max testing as well as other tests like body fat, resting metabolic rate and more.
