Not quite fast enough...

The women's tandem pursuit qualifying round has been run at the Home Depot Velodrome in LA. Unfortunately Brandie and Kerry couldn't find enough speed to qualify for the medals ride-offs, finishing in probably the most painful position in the competition - 5th.

The results of the qualifying round are:
1.  Ireland        3.37.392
2. GB              3.38.002
3. GB              3.38.561
4. NZ              3.39.659
5. Brandie and Kerry (Aus)  3.44.023
6. NED           3.44.314
7. Ireland        3.48.767
8. Canada       3.50.194
9. USA           3.50.596
10. Germany   3.52.340
11. Greece      4.01.990

So not fast enough, but good to be in the top half of the field.

Congratualtions to the Aussie boys tandem of Bryce Lindores and pilot Scott McPhee who qualified fastest in the men's tandem pursuit qualifier (4.26.277) - should be an exciting final later in the day, with the second placed Irish team only half a second slower.
