Brian Oswald travels to more races than me because I saw him in the Trexlertown race on Saturday, July 9 and he was pushing the pace in the master/veteran 21k race. Brian got likes to take off and stay away because he got dropped in the field sprint.
I finished 3rd overall in T-Town...had trouble with the big hill and then passed most of the guys going down hill, but Jeffrey Neal and John L. had too much of a lead to make up.
After the half marathon race in T-town, we had one lap solo time trial and I was already exhausted from the half marathon. Jeffrey Neal was 1st again and I managed to crawl in slightly slower to claim second.
Team Powerslide had a power trio with Scotty Bliss, Ben Carey and Sean O'Brien and they cleaned in the elite men's half marathon, the solo time trail. Scotty Bliss had the fastest time trail with a time of 1 minute and 23 seconds. My time was 1 minute and 36 seconds for second master. Jeffrey Neal's time was 1 minute and 34 second.
Peter Doucet posted some T-Town pictures on his website: Speedskateworld.com.
The drive home to Toronto was brutal after a very competitive weekend in Trexlertown, Pennsylvania. I enjoyed racing in T-town because it is a family kind of event with lots of kids on skates and various levels of competition for everyone. Right across from the skating course is the Preferred Valley Cycling and Velodrome, you can check out some incredible track cycling races on Saturday afternoon.
Happy skating.
