Win at Tour of Wantaugh (NY)
As told by Brooke: Stopped by a local crit on Long Island on the way home from Wilmington, Delaware. For the Long Island race, Rebecca gave me a great lead-out for the only prime at the halfway mark. At about 2/3 the way through the race, Sam attacked, then I countered, and then Rebecca countered again and took 2 strong women with her. Sam and I brought back a few ladies who tried to bridge to Rebecca’s trio. In the end, Rebecca outsprinted her breakaway companions. In the last 2 laps, Sam and I let the Radical Media and Comedy Central girls try to chase the break and ramp up the speed for a lead-out. I followed the speedier girls in the final 400 meters, but my gears didn’t quite click in right in the final straightaway and by the time they did, I had to settle for 2nd in the pack (5th overall) by less than a wheel.
