Wilmington (DE) Grand Prix Race Report (NRC) - 6th!
As told by Brooke: In the Wilmington race, the pack splintered with the wind and speed and a 3 person breakaway (Laura Van Gilder, Jen McRae (Sam’s coach) and an Aussie track rider). Loads of people were lapped making for a weird finish where there was about 10 of us in the lead chase group and then all of a sudden a few laps before the finish, there were about 30 of us (included lapped riders). I was sprinting up the middle at the finish when I came upon Anna Milkowski fading after giving a lead-out and had to jog to the right where Rebecca came flying up my side. She got 3rd in the pack sprint (for 6th overall) and I was 6th in the pack, for 9th overall. I’m still working on getting my top end speed back. But warm, sunny weather and some great fun.
