The Timex International Women's Open was a warm up race to the 2001 USCF
National Criterium and USPRO Championships. The race was a 50 minuteplus 5
lap race on a crazy eight shaped, 1.2 mile course. The race began ina
usual criterium fashion-fast and furious from the gun. Following thefirst
4 single file laps, the field was attacked by Saturn's Ina Tuetenbergon the
back side hill. Katrina Berger (AutoTrader.com) was quick to react and
latched onto the Saturn attack. Kristy Scrymgeour (Saturn), aware Berger
had Tuetenberg covered, then quickly bridged the small break of two,and the
winning move was made. The three riders worked efficiently togethergaining
over a minute gap on the field. With one lap to go, the two Saturn riders
tried shake Berger by launching attacks for the win. However, as thecrowd
watched and anticipated a single rider to come out of the last turn,it was
an impressive finish as three riders rounded the last corner togetherand
into a 3-up sprint for the win. Berger went neck and neck with Tuetenberg
to the line but was nipped in the end. Teutenberg took the victory, Berger
was 2nd and Scrymgeour was 3rd.
