Burlingame Crit

I sucked, but lots of other people didn't.

Alison Starnes had a great solo victory in the womens race. Team Tibco was about as dominant as could be.

She went solo with 12-13 laps to go and never looked back. Shelley Olds put forth a great effort to try and chase her down ...

It looked like, with one lap left, Shelley had a chance, but she couldn't close the gap and Alison had time to celebrate her well earned victory

Tibco took 3 of the top five spots. Brooke Miller looked like she could have won the race, but with a teammate solo of the front an another on Shelley Olds wheel she had to wait to let it go, which got her 4th (trust me, that's her behind the Blackberry)

podium

In the mens race it was a break of four that got away about half way through the race and stayed out.

That's Chad Gerlach in black. What an amazing story he is, and it's great to see him back racing.

Chad ended up taking second to Scott Zwizanski. Garmin U23 rider Daniel Hollaway was impressive, taking the field sprint for 5th.

All in all, it was some really great racing. I had a lot of fun watching, which was good since I wasn't in the best of moods after my stellar DNP.
