Applegate's pull on the Stars & Stripes!

From Andy Applegate:

Hi Everyone,

I don't usually send out mass emails, but we are in the midst of our big goal race trip of the season, so I thought I would send an email with what we are up to. Our (my and Cara's) big race goals of the season revolve around the tandems this year. First up is the Master's national road race championships in Louisville KY this week. We just completed the Elite mixed tandem time trial event yesterday and were able to win by just 2 seconds! It is very hot here in Louisville with temperatures around 100 degrees and high humidity... it was tough to get in a fast ride and we are happy to have won the title again.

Tomorrow is the big tandem championship road race. After winning in 2007 and 2008 we were beaten into 2nd last year and while we are out for redemption tomorrow it is going to be a tough / hot race.

After that we head out to Leadville to do the world famous Leadville 100 race.... on.... you guessed it, a tandem. This is going to be a big challenge and a long day.

I have seen some of you here in Louisville and will see a few more of you out in Leadville.... I look forward to it. While I am on the road for the next week and a half, I have plenty of time to talk and email... so let me know if you need anything and keep me updated on your workouts!
