Sprint Tournament 8/3/07

A medium sized group of 18 sprinters braved the heat at the track this past Saturday to vie for the fast rider bragging rights. A couple of PR's and great racing completed the sprint series for this year.

After the 200's for seeding we started with a one ride, three up for everyone. The winners moved on to complete the tournament with best 2 of 3, two ups. The final came down to #1 seed Tim Montagne and #2 seed Matias Elgart. They both voted to do a single ride for the win, so we ran a three lap race instead of the regular two. In a very close race, Matias just nipped Tim at the line. Great racing!

Everyone who was eliminated from the main tournament moved into consolation rounds, sprinting six or more times until all were pooped. Also great racing!

Thanks to everyone who raced or helped out, especially Anne without whom these races wouldn't happen.

We then went into standard two up sprint tournament with fastest seeded riders racing the slower riders. All one ride races until the final which were best two of three. There weren't any reps this time around, so riders losing in the main tournament raced in a consolation tournament

Tim Montagne had to leave after the 200's so Keith MacBeth became the top seed.

SPRINT SUNDAY 3/4/07

SPRINT SUNDAY 3/4/07

On a very nice (can you say warm for a March day) Sunday morning we had a sprint semi-tournament. It was a semi-tournament because after everyone did a flying 200m for seeding, we broke into groups of six based on those 20om times so that everyone would be sprinting against riders their own speed. Because of that format, we really didn't have an overall winner, but there was some really good sprinting for this early in the season.

After the Match Sprints, those who were so inclined did 500m TT's, followed by several Team Sprints. Results are below.

With construction at the track starting on Monday, 3/5, this may be the last racing at Hellyer until June. Even if the track is open on the weekends for the next several months, this was the end on an era in terms of the present physical facility, so the sprinting was a great way to to say goodbye.

As an even better farewell was the sight of almost 30 young juniors on the track after the sprint racing ended. A good portent for the future of of Hellyer.
