Road Results
Well the website finally posted the results from the Road Race – Brayden came 7th again with a time of 1:36:04 – Great Job Brayden!!!
He’s now on his way back to Quebec – next races are Road Nationals in Burlington – June 30th to July 3rd. Go Brayden Go!
Time Trial Results
Hey guys – sorry it took a bit to get this up – I haven’t heard from Brayden, but they finally posted the results online. Brayden came 7th with a personal best! (32:50:40) Great job Brayden!!! Road Race is on Sunday for him (middle of Saturday night for us) – I’ll get those results up as soon as they’re available.
Road Race
Today Brayden had the road race – and unfortunately he had mechanical problems and finished well back in 12th.
It was a good day for Canada though as Jaye finished 5th and Marie Claude finished 2nd for a silver medal!
That’s it for Brayden’s racing for a while… track worlds aren’t until the fall, so he’ll be coming home to Calgary and continuing to train as he goes back to Mount Royal in September.
Worlds Update!
Today was the Time Trial and Brayden did awesome.
Brayden missed the podium by 30 sec and finished 4th in 40:31 – a personal best! He held 2nd going into the long downhill (5 km to go), but could not hold off the US rider.
Tomorrow is the Road Race – GO BRAYDEN GO!!
National Results
Well this weekend was the time trial and the road race – I came 6th in the Time Trial (out of 12), so not too bad, but not as good as I’d hoped. We decided that for the road race we’d put the shifter on my right instead. So we did that – and then I had the road race yesterday. I came 4th in the road race, I did pretty good considering my chain came off in lap two and I had to ride the remaining six laps by myself. My friend Jaye from Calgary came in 2nd, so he’s made the National team for Baie Comeau! (Worlds) Great job Jaye!!!
Anyway, I have my track races on Wednesday and possibly Thursday. I’ll keep you posted!
Road Race done
The road race did not go so well… I ended up crashing twice on the same stretch of the course. Both times into a wall. I did finish though, and I’m okay, just a little stiff and sore. I think the category that I’m in is the right one, I just didn’t show it very well yesterday. Today I’m going to get some rest – eat properly, get to bed on time – and hope the time trial goes better tomorrow. I’ll keep you posted.
Road Race Champion Update
Well I got an update from my Dad – here’s what he had to say:
It was a photo finish (we are getting a copy e-mailed to us). Brayden broke away from the pack with 20km to go, and held a lead until about 5km, when the pack finally caught him. He was very smart and tucked in behind peleton, then dueled it out with Jean over the last 500m, just nipping him at the wire to win.
Sounds very exciting! We’ll post the picture whenever we get it. Woo hoo Brayden!!!
Road Race Champion!
Well I just got back from Montana to great news – Brayden won the Road Race yesterday! I don’t have many/any details, other than he won and it was great.
John B. won for the CP1/2.
Jaye & JP came 3rd & 4th in the LC3/4.
Tandems were – Alex & Daniel in 1st, Stephane & PO in 2nd, Brian & Devon in 3rd.
Track races are Tuesday & Wednesday I think…
National Time Trial Results
Well, I heard from my Dad yesterday after Brayden’s race. He rode a 20km Time Trial – his time was 36:09 and he finished 3rd. Jean finished 2nd and a new girl finished 1st. It’s a bit rainy there, but not too bad.
Brayden races again tomorrow in the Road Race – but I’m out of town, so I don’t know that this will be updated. We will try!
