Huntsville women's race results

Congratulations to the BooKoo/BBC women for strong finishes in the Spring City Cycling Club Omnium! Here are the results:

Road Race:  Elizabeth 1st, Beth 4th (1st cat 4), Stacey 6th (4th Cat 1/2/3), Amy (6th cat 4), Meridith (8th cat 4), Kelly (6th cat 1/2/3), Maaike (8th cat 1/2/3), Sally (9th cat 4)

BooKoo women win AL State Championship medals

AL State Championship Medals:

  • Cat 2: Elizabeth - Gold RR & TT, Stacey - Bronze RR
  • Cat 3: Kelly - Gold RR, Maaike - Silver RR, Gold TT
  • Cat 4: Beth - Gold RR, Meridith - Gold TT

In the women's road race, we were subjected to several attacks on the second lap by a veritable opponent, Debbie Milne. Later on in the 2nd lap, Debbie was sidelined with derailleur problems, and a group of six determined women (three BooKoos included - Elizabeth, Stacey and Beth) worked together until ending in a sprint finish.

The women's crit started out fast and furious, and a breakaway group of three (including Elizabeth) lapped the main field later in the race. At the end, everyone powered through the uphill sprint finish, with Elizabeth clinching third place.
