Today was a criterium at the port thingy in Bermuda. The course is very technical and narrow, with some off-camber sections and shacanes. So many corners I can’t even remember. But today the ValueAct girls road awesome teamwork. We had Sharon at the front at times, stringing out the field or attacking. We had Hannah moving through the pack with ease. Finally, with three laps to go Taitt and Marni and I were lined up together, sitting a few wheels back in preparation for the field sprint. Things were looking good until another rider barelled into Taitt coming out of the corner. Luckily, she cart wheeled over her bike very gracefully and was only scraped up a bit. So we had an improptu final two laps, but with everyone’s hard work I finished 3rd in the sprint behind Laura Van Gilder and Karen Kurreck. So it was a very exciting race for me and the team today. I have felt like I am so close to finishing well in field sprints against some of the top women, but somehow every race has one little glitch. I know its not the largest field here, but its still a very motivating race for me and I hope for the teammies.

Off to the beach this afternoon and then rest up for a hilly circuit race tomorrow! Sorry, no pictures today!
