Air Center Criterium

Date: July 11, 2006

The results for the Teamwork Challenge crit were announced at the event but here are the results for those of you that did not make it or didn't stay around afterwards.  Thanks to everyone that came out.  So far all the feedback that I have received about the event was positive although I admit we had a few glitches evening out teams in one category and adding another team to the B category to keep the teams from being to large.  Also of note, I managed to see some video of the crit on Channel 8 that evening although I had no idea the camera crew were out there, looks like they got some video shots down by the last corner and then headed into the shop for the editing process.  We also had a City of Reno Community Services Officer monitoring the event for the first part of the C race.  I haven't heard any bad feedback from them and it seemed that everything went well in the way of no altercations between motorists and cyclists during the time the CSO wa s at the event.
 
The first event of the evening was the C crit.  As the field was a little thin we had to combine the 4 original teams into 3.  A total of 14 people participated.  As each rider registered they were required to pick a ping pong ball out of a bag.  The PP balls were each marked with a color that would designate which team the rider was on.  No negotiating was allowed for people that wanted to switch or pick their teams. 

The participants for the C event were.

673 Anthony Woo
623 Josh Rennie

For the B race the teams started to get a little big so I added one more team to the mix.  It caused a little bit of a ruckus at first as some teams had already talked strategy.  Although the new team may have had a little bit of inside knowledge (although everyone racing pretty much already knew the opposing teams strengths and weaknesses) they were short handed compared to everyone else.  The 5 teams that participated were.
