Gainesville Represents at the State Road Race

Five Podiums for G-ville residents
At this past weekend's State Road Race Championships five local riders made it onto the podium, two of those actually pulling on the State Road Race Champions jersey.

• In the Cat 5 race, long-time friend of 5count, Anthony Musalo won the jersey in his first ever attempt at racing on the road. Not a bad way to start...congratulations Anthony!
• In the Woman's Pro,1,2,3 race Cindy Tompkins, who usually rides in support of Rebecca Larson (who finished second on the day), made it to the finish line ahead of everyone else earning herself some much deserved accolades. Congratulations Cindy!

Also in the Cat 5 race, Dan Connaughton took home the bronze medal for his efforts. Dan's wife Angela Connaughton went one better by winning silver in the Woman's Cat 4 race. Congratulations Connaughton family...maybe you two ought to race more often!

In Addition...
...to the above mentioned Gainesville cyclists, the State Road Race was littered with local riders who made the trip to Tallahassee this past weekend. First-timers, long-timers and even some some-timers were racing through the HILLS of north Florida. Some did better that others, but all are to be commended for getting out there and racing one of the toughest courses in the state. Here are the local brave souls

I'm convinced that people just love to see their names on the internet. The day after I posted these names of Gainesville residents who were at the State Road Race, 5count saw it's largest one-day total of hits since it's inception.

There weren't any fancy pictures, no stunning healines or unique links...just names. Ya'll are so vain.
