We raced at the Ride Sally Ride in Sterling, VA. The 2 separate juniors categories raced together, but were graded separately. In attendance, were Jared, Michael, and Corbin. Throughout the race, Michael (15-18) hung with the “big guys” and had the ability to draft a good bit. He raced strong and looked comfortable throughout the race. He finished in 18th position, and continues to improve and learn more in each race! Jared (10-14) said he felt good throughout the race, and displayed his usual cool demeanor (never once looking like he was tired!). He stayed consistent and efficient through the race, and had a great sprint at the finish to take 7th place! Corbin found himself isolated early, and rallied to catch the competitor in front of him. He traded positions with his competition several times throughout the rest of the race, and finished strong with good form!
Congrats to all the team members who raced this weekend. It’s another “notch in the belt” so to speak, and another day’s worth of good racing. The progress that we’ve made in our 6 months of existence as a team has been astounding! A huge “Thank You” goes out to our sponsors; Eastern Panhandle Bicycle Co. and Hammer Nutrition. Without their support this year, Team Integrity would not have had the same experience thus far. Eastern Panhandle Bicycle Co. (www.epbicycles.com) has been monumental in providing us with guidance and service in regards to fit, service, and repair. Hammer Nutrition (www.hammernutrition.com) played an important role in being able to teach our athletes about proper fueling/refueling and recovery. And last, but not least, thank you to our family and friends for all your support and encouragement!
Go Team Integrity..you guys are doing great! Keep hammering away!
