Sarah Stewart (Total Restoration) battled her way back from a knee injury to take second in the Kellogg-Hallow Road Race in Walla Walla, Washington. The event was a prelude to the Tour of Walla Walla which begins this morning under cold temperatures.
Yesterday's road race saw a series of breakaway attempts from many different teams - with 4 riders eventually going clear - including Sarah and Giant's Jessica Hannah of British Columbia. Sarah, Jessica and their breakaway companions were eventually joined by two riders from the Wine's of Washington team. The breakaway steadily gained ground throughout the extremely wind and hilly course. The roads meandered through endless green fields of Walla Walla onions. The scenery was dramatic. In the end it was a sprint finish (pictured). Sarah finished second. Her knee seems to be holding up well and she is looking forward to today's time trial and a second road race this afternoon. The stage race concludes tomorrow with a criterium in downtown Walla Walla.
