Turnbull caps weekend double with Table Rock win

Lisa Turnbull (Therapeutic Associates Inc) pulled off a two-week hat trick, taking back-to-back victories this weekend in the Women's Pro/1/2/3 field at Eugene-Roubaix and the Table Rock Road Race near Medford. She also won the Kings Valley Road race April 11.

Turnbull won a two-up sprint with breakaway companion Lindsay Fox at Saturday's race in Eugene. She finished ahead of Veloforma's Rebecca Hartkop and Jenny Slawta of Land Shark the next day at Table Rock, which was also the third race of the 2009 Oregon Cup points series.

Team Oregon's Kennett Peterson won the Men's Pro/1/2 race on Sunday after grabbing the field sprint for seventh at Saturday's Eugene-Roubaix. At Table Rock, Peterson finished ahead of breakaway companion Paul Bourcier (Hutch's). The field finished more than three minutes later, led across the line by Team Oregon's Chris Swan, the winner of Saturday's race in Eugene.
