Salida Omnium Race Report: Day 3, Criterium

Beth Fisk wins the criterium and steals the overall victory in the omnium! (photo not actually Beth, but Christian McCarthy who also won the men's race, however the pose was the same at the finish).

With the points scoring for this omnium there was only way for Beth to win the omnium today, she had to win the crit and hope Kristen Danielson finished 3rd or worse. So we worked to make the race aggressive and fast from the start which set Beth up to take off in a very ideal breakaway. She handily took the sprint from the group and I got the arm-chair ride of sitting in the field all day just marking riders to help make sure the break stayed away. I ended up 5th today getting outsprinted by a speedy SyRae who leaped over me in the overall yesterday. So I ended up 5th as well for the weekend.

So it was an awesome weekend for the team with Beth winning the big money crit as well as the omnium. Not to be out done by the girls, the boys also won the crit and their omnium too.
