6/24/03 - Race Results are trickling in...
Burying the competition as per usual, we had some superb Hypercat performances over the past weekend. I am still compiling results and getting the stories and will be posting them one by one.
Let's start with Hypercat, Jamie Sandidge.

Jamie took on the field at the Danskin Women's triathlon held in Rancho Seco, California on Sunday.  Jamie is approaching triathlon with a lighter attitude than 2002, when she choose the sport a top priority. Jamie's training has been lighter and more focused this year and it just shows that when you have fun, you perform!
Despite a late season start in training and even wakeboarding the day before, Jamie rocked in Rancho Seco placing 6th place F25-29. This was Jamie's first event of '03 and she will be racing again in a few weeks at the Tri For Real Triathlon. Way to go Girl!
