Kim Rose-Gershow Narrowly Beaten in Nationals Road Race

Just goes to show, you can be the strongest on the day, and not take the win! Kim rode an extremely aggressive race in the 35 to 39 age group at Nationals today. The race is an 18km circuit with a climb. She was able to open a gap on the climb but the wind did not work in her favour. After the climb there was a strong head-wind preventing her from staying away from the chasing bunch. She was beaten in the final sprint, paying for all the hard efforts during the race!

Unlucky Kim, but one thing is for sure, your rivals know they had a race today!

Kim Rose-Gershow - S.A. National 35-39 TT Champ!!

Today Kim won the National TT Title. Beating Lisa Vermaak by about 6 seconds. This is a brilliant results, having been narrowly beaten by Lisa in the Provincials TT last month.

The 20km race was held in East London. Kim finished the time-trial in 34m40 at a speed of 36km/h.

This was one of Kim's goals at the beginning of the year when we put together her training program, it's always nice when a plan works out.
