Unofficial results

Brandy sent this out via email a short while ago:

Ciao-

Here is a quick update--we have to get to lunch and awards. Our women's team was 3rd place--BRONZE medals!!!! A junior girl was 2nd! Men not sure on the final results yet. Juniors may have placed, but men did not.  I was either 9th or 10th--I think I got edged out right at the line. All 4 of us were top 20! I was actually in 2nd place at the top of the first climb--pretty cool experience. It is beautiful--I may miss my plane on purpose! :-)
Thanks for all of your support!!

love, Brandy :-)

Update from Italy

After spending an extra day in Charlotte (weather grounded her plane), Brandy was rerouted to JFK instead of Atlanta and finally made it to Milan. From there she met up with Nancy Hobbs and caught a ride to the race area which is northeast of Lake Como. It sounds like a beautiful area and most of the athletes who previewed the course have approved of it. There is an opening ceremony tomorrow (Saturday) and the race is on Sunday.

I'll try to post pics as I get them. Italy is 8 hours ahead of MST and I hope to have race results early Sunday morning.

Here's a couple courtesy of Nancy Hobbs:
