2012 Team - Kym, Emily, Kristi, Stephanie, Catherine, Star, Paula (not pictured: Amy, Anina, Shannon)
This season has been a whirlwind but we have started off right where we left off - on the podium. The team this year has reorganized a bit in order to give our AWESOME sponsors more visibility and show that we rock no matter what type of racing we are doing. Myself, Emily, Catherine, Paula, and Kristi are continuing to focus on dominating the SERC series (although Kristi is now a mom-to-be so she may be the ultimate cheerleader/bottle girl for a big part of the series). Additionally, Stephanie, Star, and Amy will be tearing up the ultra endurance scene and just for fun Shannon, Paula, Catherine, and I are also going to hit the road scene. This fall we are all going to once again be racing cross and mommy Kristi hopes to make her post-baby debut. Whew. We will be busy.
A team with a view...
The season started off for me with the completion of my Masters Degree (with a 4.0 cumulative gpa) and putting training on hold for a bit. After my cross season I needed some down time anyway so it was a good break. The first few races were PAINFUL, but the break was good for me. I took second in both Florida and at Tsali in the midst of defending my thesis so even the lack of training wasn't too bad. Paula took 4th in Florida and 3rd at Tsali and Catherine started us off with our first win of the year with a win in the Cat 1 field. Stephanie rocked the Cat 2 podium with a 3rd... Not bad for an endurance racer.
At the front at Tsali
Paula has also spent some time road racing in both GA and TN and has been on the podium both times. She's got her eye on a TBRA state championship this season so look for us to be out on the road helping her attain that.
