TPR @ The Turnpike Race #3

Hi Team,

Congrats on a great video and way to represent Team Paisa for a very worthy cause. Some of us raced today in the final race of the Turnpike Series here in Miami with great results.

In the first Masters race, Chilly Willy broke away with one lap to go and solo'd in for a very impressive victory. He has now won two races in a row and is flying! Helping him were Alex Bianchi and one other rider, new to our team which I have forgotten his name.

In the second Masters race, Peter Carlos and I battled very difficult odds as we took on around 10 cyclists from Bike America. The race was very difficult as there were constant attacks from this team forcing Peter and I to cover just about every attack. In the end, a breakaway of two guys got away which included one of the Bike America racers. Peter and I sprinted with the best of rest and came in 6th and 7th places.

In the CAT 4/5's, Josh Haber did a nice job of staying in the top half of a very large group and came in top 20 from a field of about 60 racers.

In the Mens CAT 3's combined with Womens 1 2 3's race, Peter, Jennifer, Mateo, Romina and I battled the midday heat and in the end worked to help Jennifer get our second TPR victory of the day as Jeniffer took 1st place honors in the Womens 1 2 3 division.

Great job by all the racers as today TPR had two 1st place podiums! Thanks to all for showing courage in this heat and battling the very windy course.
