gNats Wrap

gNats are now in the books, and we seem to be nearing the crazy part of the season, crits and chaos thats we like to call em! We faired well in a whole at 7Springs with a surprise National medal, some sceners probaby dont know existed.... Mixed Tandem 90+ Time Trial – Patrick Aimone (Belleville, Mich.), Anne Marie Phillips (Northville, Mich.) WAy to go!
Graham Howard - second in the U23 time trial. Elite men saw the our Neighbor Paul Martin take some more names and another title home to North Royalton Ohio The imfamous Norm Zellers placed 19th and was slightly out done by crit DOG HECKMAN at 14th, the all arounder Tom Burke was a not to distant 26th. Greg Christian in there too. TmS favorite Josh Tarrant was MIA in the road race and off kilter in the TT. also rans in the last week of battle were Adam Sczech of SunLYon, Elite mens TT and Alvin Nordell in the Elite mens RR. it may be time to refuel and recharge for round 2 of the year for some, and for others its damage control and get back together. Keep it up, cause if you dont someone else is.

funny, historically guys that do well at these races are still raging come july. check the stats....funny certain guys that were raging spring fling wins dont seem to be on that same form. i guess the season is kinda long.

that first comment doesn't make sense to me...(4:42)

guys that were top 10 in the 2007 spring fling:

Blair Dudley
Vince Roberge
Ray Dybowski
Brian Adams
Josh Tarrant
Max Finkbiener
Todd Elenz
Ben Renkema
Tucker Olander
Tony Bruley
James Meurig

would you argue that a majority of these guys are not still on form, racing in the breaks, and finishing top 10?

HMMM Card, Koch, Grahm, seem to be rollin well. Im saying its the kiss of death, just a peck. Hey but what do i know.I suck

sometimes it just comes down to this:
...some guys know how to race, and race well (mentally and physically), all year.

...some guys can peak and go well part of the year.

...some guys are still learning.

at one point in our "career" we have all been "that guy".

Team tactics play a massive role all year regardless.
