AMBC Big Shark Challenge
St Louis, MO, May 4-5, 2002
Women's race reports by Team Dogfish
Time trial: Kyia Malenkovich (Dogfish) rode to a commanding victory at the AMBC Big Shark Challenge Opening Time Trial, which encompassed a mostly downhill point to point single track course. Stephanie Leibke (Dogfish) came in an impressive second place showing a huge improvement on her descending skills from the previous season.
Dirt crit: Stephanie Leibke of Team Dogfish took second place to Catherine Walberg in the 20 minute dirt criterium held just after the conclusion of the Time Trial. Leibke was riding very well, but lost Walberg's wheel when a male rider from the sport race that they were passing swerved into her at the creek crossing on the course. Leibke finished 7 seconds down on Walberg. Malenkovich was crashed out at the start of the race, and could not get her handlebars unjammed from her bike to continue.
Cross Country: Kyia Malenkovich began the XC under very hot and humid conditions with a strong attack on the main technical climb, which generated a gap to form on the field of around a minute. Kyia maintained the gap until the the start of the last of 4 laps when she suffered from heat exhaustion and fell off her race pace. Kyia finished second on the day when Catherine Walberg slipped by on the start of the last lap to take the win. Leibke was unable to finish when she flatted and then had a quick-fill failure on the second lap.
