Quick MN Update

Its getting too late to write much, but we made it safe through some pretty big thuderstoms to Minnesota. We had a bit of chance to visit with family.

Brief races results to date:
Friday TT - Amber got 1st in the Cat 4's by about a minute and was 5th fastest woman. I stupidly followed the guy in front of me off course. After realizing my mistake, U-turned back and ended up passing the guy that started 3 minutes behind me so i probably lost 3:30 or so. I ended up 10th.

Sat Road Race - Windy course without real oppurtunites to break up the group. Amber finished in the pack for 5th and moved down to second in the overall. I finished 10th again and moved down to 12th overall. I was able to break up the pack on the one major hill so it wouldn't end up a sprint finish.

Sun Road Race - Hillier course with finish on main hill. Amber finished third after giving a big push to move up from fifth on the steepest part of the hill. Unfortunately the winner didn't do any work the whole race so just pissed off the other girls. Amber moved back into the overall lead but is only 3 points ahead of second place, 9 points ahead of 3rd, and 14 points ahead of 4th (the girl who won today, but if her bike handling skills are as bad as they sound, well...) In any case, she needs to finish ahead of the 2nd place girl tomorrow to win the overall or not be more than 1 place behind the 3rd place girl (who has teammates). I finished fourth after causing our finish group to whittle down to only eight on the previous laps. I think i'm seventh or so overall now.

Tomorrow is a crit, should be fun.
