I think I saw that race...they walked away from her down the straight. In 200m sprint races, the entire field comes off the turn nearly even which is the point of the staggerd starting line. IIRC, she made funny grunting sound throughout the race

You mean the smile/grimace of pain? What can I say, I was working hard for most of the race. Good times.

You guys have big leg muscles. I may be too fat for this sport, but my legs are too skinny.

Bellterra P/1/2/3. I'm still waiting to see if someone posts more pictures. There should be one of me gritting my teeth with a big string of snot hanging from my face (on this same hill). Until then:

at least you get it half right. i live in a country with crap weather, and no mountains (or for that matter, hills within riding distance).

I like how it looks like we're off the front, with a group and the wheel car way down the hill.... but no, I'm chasing after 10 people. Really suffering.
