Durand race recap

31 women lined up for yesterday's road race at Durand!! A few women were doing their first race again...and this was a tough course for even the seasoned veterans! The women had to do two laps of the 13.5 mile course that had a lot of short steep climbs, and one large climb. Due to all of the hills, the race broke up fast and a small group got off the front, while there were a lot of other small groups working together behind the leaders. The race came down to a three-women sprint between Lieselot Decroix (Velo Bella), Jenna Zander (Cannondale), and Ann Hansgate (U of M). In the end, Hansgate was the first to cross the line, with Zander second, and Decroix 3rd.

Congratulations to all of you who did your first race...that really was a tough one and was great training for the first race of the MWCMR series next weekend! We hope to see you all at Ken Woods and we look forward to seeing who ends up in the MWCMR leader's jersey!!
