April Antics

It’s been a while since I’ve updated the blog and filled the world in on what Mom & Pop Racing has been up to. Even though the weather has been sketchy here in Southeast Michigan, Mom & Pop Racing has been out taking care of business.

On April 3rd, Brad took to the pool, stationary bike, and treadmill, competing in the Shelby Twp. (MI) Lifetime Fitness Indoor Triathlon. Brad finished a spectacular 3rd in the Open Men’s Division and 6th overall. Brad is getting faster in each of the three disciplines and is anxiously awaiting the outdoor tri season to get underway.

April 10th brought about another outing for Mom & Pop at the AASTS in Ann Arbor, MI. John, Seth and Will all lined up to show the local crit scene what Mom & Pop has to offer. Looking good sporting their new kit, they left it all out on the course. Will and John worked together in the “C” race and ended up finishing 15th and 19th respectively. Not to bad for two guys with limited road race experience. Next up, Seth and Will rolled up to the start of the “B” race. Seth hung with the front of the pack finishing fifth in the field sprint. Will finished in the pack in 25th. Having raced only two of the four races, Seth finished 5th overall in the “B” race series.

Emma Kate and Will showed up at the Willow Time Trial held atthe Willow Metro Park in New Boston, MI on April 30th, in order to test their TT abilities. Neither of them disappointed with Emma Kate finishing first in the Junior Women’s 17-18 division and Will finished 12th in the Senior Men’s Cat 5 division. Will shaved over two minutes off last years time.

On April 30^th Dave took to the line at Vultures Knob near Wooster, OH for his first cross county race of the season. Dave’s winter training plan was spot on as he shaved major time off of his previous best time, finishing 5^th in the 40-49 Men’s Novice division. Great job!!

That’s how April unfolded for Mom & Pop Racing. Next up will the Hare Racer held in Adrian, MI the first weekend in May. Watch for an update soon.
