BIO
A talented athlete with a powerful engine, Jason Allen splits his
time between Kodakgallery.com/Sierra Nevada and New Zealand's world-class
track cycling program.
Starting off the 2005-2006 winter track season, Jason was part of
New Zealand's winning team pursuit at the World Cup in Manchester,
England in December 2005 and took third in the individual pursuit
at the Los Angles World Cup in January 2006.
At the Commonwealth Games in March of this year, Jason put his horsepower
on display and turned out a personal-best 4:22.9 in the individual
pursuit qualifying round, just a second off the fastest time of the
competition.
After returning stateside following the world track championships
in April, Jason's first major result came at the Kelly Cup in Baltimore
over Memorial Day weekend, where he made the winning breakaway and
placed fourth.
Racing a similar program in 2005 with McGuire-Langdale, Jason showed
that, despite his track racing pedigree, he can endure both distance
and bad weather by taking 5th in the wet, cold 137-mile finale of
the Tour of Connecticut in May, followed by second place in the Tour
of Somerville. |
