The team represented well at our first race of the season. Seven Hungrians -Michael Starr, Michael Chewning, Andrew Suchocki, Alex Steinker, Scott Pardi, Zach Cahill, and Kerry Nordstrom -braved the blustery, cold drizzle in the rolling countryside near Germantown, Ohio. The course included several gravelly turns, some tight rollers, and a short, yet knarly, rolling climb into a headwind to the slightly uphill finish. Everyone seemed to fair well -no crashes- though Mike Starr (Cat4) had a technical which cost a lot of energy during a long chase of the pack. Alex, Kerry, and Zach hung on in a very fast and challenging Cat5 race. Congrats to Zach and Alex for working hard in rough conditions in their first race. Michael Chewning suffered like a dog in the combined Cat123 race, apparently a little too Hungry for the night life before race day, thus catching the bonk from not eating or sleeping enough -lesson learned. Best finishes for the day include Scott taking first in the Cat4 race after a long bridge leading to a two-man break that ended with Scott out-hustling his rival before the line, and Andrew taking 5th in the Cat4 with a strong effort to shatter his competition in the chase group. All-in-all we had a great time despite the weather. Post race, we celebrated with Starr’s excellent home brew then gorged ourselves on local Mexican. Congrats all around. A few pics from the race:
