No question Compton is on fire, she cruises to 2nd win in Ohio
October 10, Elite Women: Middletown, Ohio
Katie Compton (Planet Bike/Stevens) claimed her second victory. This time in Sunset Park Middletown, Ohio at the Java Johnny’s – Lionhearts International. The victory came a day after her win at Darkhorse Cyclo-Stampede International Cyclocross, the first of the weekend’s three race series.
After a phone call from us on "How To", Sue Butler (Monavie Cannondale) out-gunned national champion Compton at the start of the Elite Women’s race and led until the up-and-back beach volleyball section.
As they crossed the finish line following the prologue section, Compton had only a 14 second lead over Butler. Behind Butler was a large gap that developed and raced for third.
Meanwhile, Sue Butler rode her own race to maintain a good gap over the three-way chase group behind her that contained Winfield, Barbara Howe (Vanderkitten) and Laura Van Gilder (C3- Athletes Serving Athletes). “We all knew when we came here that we were racing for second place,” said Butler.
Not all are teachable!
