03/10/09 Eldo re-cap
All 3 categories rode well, some Cat 4/5 racer managed to stay upright, even when his wheel taco'd in T-4. Jamie Paolinetti and Brian "Turtle" Keate rode agressive and there were no issues! I was surprised that Bike Religion had almost 1,000 racers in the P/1/2/3 and it seemed like they chased all day instead of putting guys in the break [hint: it's much easier, tactically, to have guys in the break & then sit in/block than to burn matches by chasing the break]. The Masters dang near got caught at the finish line, and I know why! They are SLOW! When I see women, over the age of 30, attacking the masters and staying at the front...that's all I need to see! Kudos to Michelle Webster (Swami's), who is not afraid of the wind and certainly not afraid of the Masters-Masters, who are more concerned with the racers riding to the Left and Right of them.
