As she waited to start her race of truth, Annemiek Van Vleutin (Netherlands) could be seen completely focused on the task at hand even before she took to the start house. As she went down the start ramp, she was no less dialed in as she got herself up to speed. Unfortunately, she wasn't able to match the speed of the Australian in the hot seat waiting at the end of the course. She finished her day in seventh, at least she can take comfort in knowing she was in the top ten. I imagine she will be just that much more intense when it comes time for the road race this coming weekend.
