Jackie Crowell Diary: The First Day
June 11, 2009Throughout the Nature Valley Grand Prix, Jacquelyn Crowell is sharing her observations and experiences as a first-year professional cyclist for Team Type 1. After the opening day of this year’s race, the University of Florida student stands 23rd overall, 1:19 behind leader Kristin Armstrong.
I don’t even remember what I did Wednesday. It was such a long day. I woke up at 5:20 and was raring to go because I got so much rest on Tuesday.
The time trial in St. Paul went really well. Like I said in my earlier diary, I always do better the second time I do a course, just because it’s more familiar and I’m more mentally prepared. I think I did pretty well.
I got 24th place, which makes me want to look up what I did here last year and compare to it. I’m sure I improved. Plus, I had the added benefit this year of some very awesome equipment. Team Type 1 has special Louis Garneau Superleggera time trial helmets and we ride Orbea Ordu time trial bikes that look like stealth fighters – and go as fast as fighter jets. Both of those pieces of equipment give you a significant advantage. Plus, I paced myself well and finished with a good feeling.
So I’m fourth now in the Active Protein Complex Best Young Rider competition. That’s something I’m shooting for this week.
I tried to take a nap in between the morning and evening stages. But I’m reading “Twilight” (a young-adult vampire-romance novel written by Stephenie Meyer) for the second time. I thought it would put me to sleep. But unfortunately, it’s a little exciting with all those vampire tensions…
The main thing in last night’s Downtown St. Paul Criterium was to keep my teammate, Alison Powers, up toward the front and analyze any breaks once they happened. We wanted to roll them if they were to our advantage or block them if they weren’t. Alison is in second place overall, just a handful of seconds behind Kristin Armstrong, who has won this race three times.
Time bonuses were huge for us on Wednesday night’s stage. But unfortunately I didn’t see the front to help out. I wasn’t feeling the vibes. So I’m a little down but Thursday is another day. And the road race is on a course that is better suited to me.
