MORE SUPER K AT SUPERWEEK...KARLA 7TH

Here's Mary Ellen's summary of Super K's telephone report after today's race...

Let me give a little setting for the race today.
It was a hot summer day and the wind was calm. Karla stood on the start line glistening in her newly pressed WHITE jersey awaiting the storm of todays racing. As the gun went off the pace was fast and furious. She held on with pure grit and gristle. Karla loved the exhilaration; she
loved the pain!! As the pace ramped up a few more knotches, all she could think was, "I WANT MORE!"

AND now for the real news:
No really. I'm pretty sure it was a fast race. And that the Verducci ladies were patrolling the race a lot more carefully after Karla won yesterday. Probably a good guess that no breakaway would succeed today. And it was true: the race came down to a field sprint.
Wtih 5 laps to go, no team was setting the pace and the field kept mushrooming. With ~1 lap to go, the Verducci women had had enough, and started ramping up the speed with a picture-perfect leadout. The former US Crit Champ, Theresa Clif-Ryan won the field sprint. Karla sped
in to finish 7th. NICE WORK!
