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.
