I agree, although I read or maybe heard she thought it would be a very large (expensive) endeavor to go to altitude, which it definitely is... and goes from expensive to prohibitive if you want to spend 2-3 weeks there trying to adapt to the altitude and squeeze out all of the advantages. She also set some impressive records that will likely stand a long time, so she still had a good, but not perfect, day.

Molly's record has been broken twice. Bridie O'Donnell broke it a few months later; Evie Stevens now holds it. Bridie set her record near sea level; Evie set it at Colorado Springs.


Right... I'm not sure what that has to do with what we were talking about though... (which was Sarah Storey and her attempt)

I took Hutch's comment to mean she was used to that track since she'd done a lot of her attempts there... but yeah... Aguas definitely isn't a quick jump across the border from the US.

Um, no. Molly broke the record the first time she went to Aguascalientes.


If you're talking about the UCI pro record, it was definitely not until at least her 3rd trip to Aguas. But yes, she did set A record on her first trip... still not sure how that relates to Hutch's comment (which was made after her first trip)
