Dash for Cash

By Jenni Tafoya
Date: June 3, 2006
Category: Women 1/2
Teammates: None
Winner: Jill McLaughlin (Touchstone)
Course: Windy industrial park loop in Pleasanton with primes every lap

I had the worst legs ever on Saturday (note to self: must ride on Friday no matter how sleep deprived from working long hours and training all week). I only won one prime. Jill McLaughlin (Touchstone) and Kristin Drumm (Proman) each won about six. Since I had no spring in my legs, I tried to initiate breaks but with only a couple other people interested in getting away, and so much wind, they never lasted long. With 3 laps to go, Mary Maroon (Trummer Pils) got away with a teammate. With 1 1/2 to go, I tried to jump across, didn't make it, and got swallowed up with 1/2 lap to go. The break was swallowed up shortly thereafter. I ended up in like last place. Jill won, don't know who took 2nd, and Kristin Drumm got 3rd.
