Kristen Armstrong (not related to Lance) in a breakaway- woke up to a rainy race day for the women's olympic road race
A couple of crashes
Huge crowds!
A break in the weather, some sun for the ladies!
More crashes
more rain
love how GB's Armistead wore her pearl earrings- so classy :D
Breakaways attempted all day. Finally 3 women got away- Olga from Russia, Vos from the Netherlands and Armistead from GB!
Vos looked the strongest
Final sprint for the line
Vos takes it!
Emotion afterwards
still not sure why she was chewing her glasses..
gets lots of hugs
realization sets in
rain and tears mix
Team USA Kristen Armstrong looked beat
GB's Armistead was humble and excited to get Silver (first medal for the UK!)
Overall a great race! Bravo!

love the pearls & emotions, but those crashes are nuts and nuts should be reserved for squirrels.
