Recapping the Spring Series BY SAM BEISHUIZEN sbeishui@indiana.edu @Sam_Beishuizen

QUALIFICATIONS After faulting on its first attempt, Phi Delta Theta won the men’s pole with a time of 2:22.57 on its second run. Phi Delta Theta’s time was 1.08 seconds quicker than runner-up Black Key Bulls, who qualified on the front row for the third consecutive year. Sigma Phi Epsilon rounded out the front row at 2:25.87. Alpha Chi Omega won its first-ever pole for the women’s race with a time of 2:41.16. Melanana Cycling will start alongside, and Kappa Alpha Theta rounded out the front row.

INDIVIDUAL TIME TRIALS Chris Craig of defending champion Beta Theta Pi ran the fastest Individual Time Trial time in Beta history to claim the men’s ITT crown. His time of 2:22.98 was .37 seconds quicker than Phi Delta Theta’s Rob Lee, who finished second. Chi Omega’s Aryn Doll captured the women’s ITT with a 2:40.01, .51 seconds quicker than Collins Cycling’s Tabitha Sherwood. The top four seeds in the women’s ITT proved to be the quickest, with Alpha Chi Omega’s Kelsey Tharnstrom and Teter’s Emma Caughlin rounding out the top four in the finishing order.

MISS-N-OUT Craig swept the individual portion of Spring Series by winning the men’s Miss-N-Out, narrowly beating Delta Tau Delta’s Paul Smith. Smith managed to pull alongside of Craig heading down the front stretch on the final lap, but Craig fended off Smith’s last moment push, beating Smith by less than a wheel length. Caughlin took the women’s MissN-Out title, outsprinting Doll and Tharnstrom on the final lap of the race. The Miss-N-Out victory was Caughlin’s first individual win in Little 500 Spring Series events, adding to her previous team victories in the Team Pursuit and 2011 race.

TEAM PURSUIT Entering the final Spring Series event, both the men’s and women’s white jerseys were still on the line. Black Key Bulls clinched the white jersey by placing better than Beta Theta Pi and Phi Delta Theta in the opening heats. BKB advanced to the finals, where it defeated Phi Gamma Delta to win Team Pursuit with a time of 9:16.31. The women’s white jersey came down to the final race, with Teter and Alpha Chi Omega squaring off in the Team Pursuit with the white jersey going to the winner. Alpha Chi Omega led early, but Teter managed to pull ahead by the fourth lap of the race and pulled away to a lead of just less than 13 seconds. Teter’s 8:16.89 finals time was the quickest women’s time of the day.

LITTLE 500 GUIDE 2014

THE RACE

CAITLIN O’HARA | IDS

Members of the Phi Kappa Sigma team attempt to exchange the bike without faulting during 2014 Little 500 Qualifications on March 29. The team ended the day with a seventh-place qualifying time.

The art of the exchange Flawless exchanges on the track can lead to success, botched exchanges can mean trouble BY SAM BEISHUIZEN sbeishui@indiana.edu @Sam_Beishuizen

In a race that often comes down to fractions of a second, Little 500 competitors are always looking to pick up precious time on the track. One of the more dramatic ways teams shave time is during the rider exchanges. It’s one of the most dangerous parts of the race, with riders jumping on and off the bikes while at the same time trying not to fall behind competitors who are racing by. An exchange done properly can keep a team out front and in contention. A poor exchange can leave riders falling on the ground and prove detrimental to a team’s hopes of winning. “The exchanges are crazy,” Delta Upsilon rider Robert Martin said. “Every team does it differently, but it’s all about getting in and getting out fast.” The first step to the exchange is getting out of the pack. The rider on the bike will exchange signals with his or her team that they are coming in. During this time, the rider on track has to navigate his or her way to the outside of the peloton. This can often be the most difficult part of the exchange process. If the trailing riders aren’t paying close enough attention, the rider trying to get out of the pack risks getting hit from behind, causing an accident. Once the rider steers his or her way to the outside of the pack, the exchange begins.

MATAILONG DU | IDS

Phi Kappa Tau riders fault after a failed exchange during 2014 Little 500 Qualifications on March 29.

The rider on track makes a break to the outside of the cinder track in Bill Armstrong Stadium to begin what is called a burnout lap. During the burnout lap, the rider will try to use all of his or her remaining energy to sprint away from the peloton. The goal of the burnout lap is to build a gap between the rider and the peloton, so the time lost during the exchange doesn’t cause the team to lose the draft. “The big difference is getting your burnouts,” Phi Kappa Psi rider Will Beaty said. “Getting that whole game set and being able to have a good exchange

makes a difference.” When the rider on the bike closes in on his pit box, a foot race begins for the second rider, who needs to catch the bike as his or her teammate jumps off. As the second rider tries to find his or her footing on the pedals, he or she quickly tries to gain his or her balance while trying to pick up speed as quickly as possible as he or she rejoins the peloton. “There’s a lot of trust in it,” Martin said. “Once you finally get it, you’re not done because then you balance yourself and you think of your next move on the track.”

THE RACE

The Kappa Alpha Theta team races during Team Pursuit on April 13 at Bill Armstrong Stadium.

Riders use the draft to stay at the front of the pack BY SAM BEISHUIZEN sbeishui@indiana.edu @Sam_Beishuizen

Thirty-three riders jockey for a position, inches apart from one another as they turn laps around the Little 500 track in Bill Armstrong stadium. Riders are in constant movement trying to find the optimal position in the slipstreams the bikes create. The continuous subtle movements of the riders can make the difference in both maintaining speed and conserving energy. Drafting is when physical prowess meets a science experiment. The right move in the draft can bring a rider to the front of the field. One wrong move can lead to a rider picking cinders out of his or her skin after a crash. “It’s a lot of chaos,” Delta Sigma Pi rider Mark Juretschke said. When drafting, the cyclists form a large group called the peloton. In French, “peloton” literally means “ball” or “platoon.” During Little 500, mastering and controlling the peloton is key for teams to stay up front. Although from afar, drafting can look relatively simple, the peloton itself has a

number of complexities that can be difficult to understand at first. The front riders of the peloton carry the burden of “pulling” the field. This is oftentimes the brunt of the work. The lead riders cut into the wind, opening a hole in the air that reduces the aerodynamic drag the riders following in close pursuit will face. The reduction in drag allows for the riders in the midst of the peloton to preserve energy while maintaining speed. Studies on exactly how much energy the riders save vary between 10 and 40 percent depending on the size of the peloton and weather patterns. Though the exact amount of energy being saved is hard to pinpoint, riders say the difference in feel is obvious. “It’s night and day different,” Alpha Epsilon Pi rider Brett Frommer said.. “When you’re in the pack, you can stay on another person’s wheel and just ride. Keeping a good gap in helps save energy and maintain speed.” Within the peloton, a handful of teams typically stay near the front of the group.

The women’s CSF biking team races during team pursuit April 13 at the Bill Armstrong Stadium. They finished with a time of 9:12:38, putting them in 12th place.

» DRAFTING

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 7 responsible for the weight of pulling. The front of the pack controls the speed of the race. Depending on a team’s specific strategies, some may want to see the race slowed down, allowing riders to breathe easily and conserve energy. Others may want to push the tempo and test the

endurance of the field from the very beginning. “There’s a lot of politics behind it,” Juretschke said. “The biggest thing people might not notice is that the top tier teams are always going to be near the front. They work together and control what is going on and who rides up there.” Although riders can conserve energy in the peloton, the nature of the wheel-towheel action creates risk of massive crashes.

In last year’s men’s race, several teams near the middle of the peloton were involved in a crash while entering turn three on the eighth lap. The easiest way for riders to stay out of trouble and away from crashes is to stay in front of them. When riders near the front speed up, there is a lag to the back of the peloton. This creates an accordion effect that can lead to trouble for riders who can’t keep up

with the speed changes. Because of the high risk and reward of riding in the peloton, Frommer said the best thing for riders to do is to stay alert on the track. “The biggest thing that most of these guys work on is just being able to sit in a good position and work on being able to ride safely and not let any gaps form,” he said. “If you can do that, you can be around at the end.”

IU’s famed collegiate bike race carries a culture and excitement of its own, but its inspiration is easily traced to another Indiana competition of laps and wheels -- the Indianapolis 500 Mile Race. The almost seven-hour car race, a yearly spectacle since 1911, became the framework for IU’s own yearly battle of patience and determination.

Members of the Ski Club bike team competed in the spring series events as their first competitive cycling experience.

Ski Club women learn to race, form bike team for ﬁrst year BY SAM BEISHUIZEN sbeishui@indiana.edu @Sam_Beishuizen

It isn’t uncommon for groups on campus to halfheartedly discuss forming Little 500 teams. The thought normally gathers some attention but then stalls without much actual result. Unlike many of the failed start-up teams, when IU Ski and Snowboard Club began tossing around the idea of forming a team, they followed through. “At the beginning of the year, we were talking about how it’s always unfortunate that we never have anything to do around Little Five season,” Ski Club Captain Natlie Laser said. “When we started throwing the idea around, there was a big enough response that it worked.” But Ski Club hasn’t just managed to bring together a team — it has found success. The rookie team qualified seventh with a time of 2:51.29, by far the best-placing rookie team. The results have come as somewhat of a surprise for the riders. The team of Laser, Ashley King, Alex Benigni and Megan Huibregtse combine for zero years of competitive cycling experience. Huibregtse didn’t even have her Little 500 bike until January. Because of the lack of experience, the team knew if it wanted to make a Little 500 run the right way they would need to commit to training on the bikes. That meant while the Ski Club made a trip to Aspen, Colo., the cycling team stayed home. “We knew we had to stay,” Laser said. “We knew it would

be worth it. “With not very much track time at all, we needed to be here if we wanted to be serious about it.” So while other members of Ski Club were out on the slopes, Ski Club Cycling was training on the bikes around Bloomington. Coaching and other teams, such as Teter, have been helpful to Ski Club Cycling as it has prepared, but still, the struggles of being a rookie team have been present. King said the first time she was out on the track during practice with other teams around her was one of the scarier parts of learning how to race. “It’s like riding in a traffic jam going 100 miles an hour,” King said. “There is so much sensory input that we didn’t know how to do.” But after the weeks of preparation and practice, King said all four members have become at home on the track. “It was crazy at first, but now we feel really comfortable,” she said. For a rookie team with no competitive cycling experience, qualifying for the race was a big accomplishment. But now that Ski Club Cycling has proven itself in qualifications to start on the inside of row three, the team members are focused on exceeding their increasing race expectations. “I think before quals, we thought that breaking into the top 10 would be goal for us and, still, that would be amazing,” King said. “But after we saw what we could do in Quals, I think we can even raise our expectations. But for us, I think anything in the top 10 would just be awesome, but we’ll see at the race.”

Tommy Larson, member of Delta Upsilon, races with his team during Team Pursuit on April 13 at the Bill Armstrong Stadium. They finished with at time of 10:22.97, putting them in 20th place.

BY SAM BEISHUIZEN sbeishui@indiana.edu @Sam_Beishuizen

In late February, Thomas Larson fell down while training. Again. He was riding his bike downhill through the Morgan Monroe State Forest when he reached for his water bottle. His hands dropped down and he flew headfirst over the handlebars. “Luckily, my face broke the fall pretty well,” Larson said, only half-joking. He immediately hopped up and reached for his bike. His first instinct was to check for damage. He was worried the frame had cracked. What Larson hadn’t noticed was his own injury, which was bad enough to prompt drivers passing by to ask him if he needed help. He waved them all off. It wasn’t until a woman pleaded with him that Larson took a look in a mirror and realized the extent of his injury. His face was covered in blood. He needed to be taken to a hospital. The first person he called was Robert Martin, a Delta Upsilon Cycling teammate. “I’m hurt. I crashed my bike. Can you pick me up?” Larson asked Martin on the phone. “Oh no, not again,” Martin responded. When Martin arrived on the scene, Larson was grinning from ear to ear. For Martin, it was an odd sight. Larson’s face was still covered with blood, but it didn’t seem to bother him. Martin drove Larson to the nearest emergency room, where he recalled Larson walking around the hospital like he owned the place. He knew every room and practically everyone’s name. At this point, Larson was fairly used to hospitals. He had spent the previous six years of his life in and out of them. He couldn’t remember the exact number of surgeries he has underwent since 2008. He said it’s between 30 and 35, but he’s lost count. The hospital stay that stands out the most to Larson came 15 months earlier. He went through a triple organ

transplant to replace his stomach, pancreas and small intestine. But this emergency room trip wasn’t as serious. Despite the bloody injury, Larson kept the mood light. Larson was cracking jokes with nurses as they performed various tests. He even asked if he could inject himself with a shot because he had gotten used to doing it himself in previous hospital stays. “I shouldn’t have been laughing,” Martin said. “But his head’s bleeding, his leg is cut and his shoulder looks dislocated, and he’s cracking jokes with the nurses, and I’m just cracking up in the corner. “That’s just Tom.” * * * Thomas Larson knows what it’s like to fall off the bike. The 24-year-old Delta Upsilon rider has fallen down in more than just a bike race. His most adverse falls have sent him to various hospital beds around the Midwest. At one point after getting sick, Larson’s body weight fell to 83 pounds. He went days without eating. A majority of his time was spent bouncing between hospitals as doctors tried to determine what was wrong with his body. After years of testing and hospital stays, Larson’s doctors determined the best solution to getting Larson healthy again would be to replace the organs causing him to become ill. Larson would undergo a triple organ transplant in October 2012 to replace his stomach, pancreas and small intestine. A little more than four years have passed since then. Now a junior, Larson is set to make his Little 500 debut with his Delta Upsilon teammates. “There’s a stubbornness about him,” Martin said. “If you tell Tom he can’t do something, he’s going to do it. If you tell him he can’t ride, he’s going to ride.” Larson got sick, but he got back on the bike. * * * The pain started in October 2009. Larson was a sophomore. He had

rushed Delta Upsilon the previous spring with intentions of riding for the fraternity’s Little 500 team. He bought his first carbon fiber bike frame in the summer. When Larson wasn’t in class, he was training. But before Halloween, Larson began experiencing stomach pains. He was admitted to Bloomington Hospital. Doctors performed a number of tests, but they couldn’t figure out what was wrong. He spent the next few weeks in and out of the hospital. During that time, Larson stopped eating — nothing tasted good. He only managed to eat whatever food was in the Delta Upsilon house every few days. Larson’s health deteriorated. He was weak and nobody, not even the doctors, knew why. “I can only explain it as a hangover,” Larson said. “It just wasn’t right.” The pain forced Larson to transfer to Rush University Medical Center in Chicago, where he spent three weeks. Larson said doctors performed every test they could think of. But still, no answers. The only way Larson could get the nutrients and minerals he needed was through Total Parenteral Nutrition. TPN

is used for patients who either cannot or should not receive their nutrition by eating. A needle was placed in Larson’s vein in his arm at night, pumping in the various nutrients he needed to survive. The TPN treatment continued until mid-February. Larson was transferred to Iowa. Doctors began to think it was a problem in his small intestine. After doctors pumped in more nutrients and minerals Larson’s body desperately needed, he was told it would be a waiting process. “There wasn’t much more they could do,” Larson said. “So I went home.” * * * At Larson’s home in Wheaton, Ill., things only got worse. He still couldn’t eat. He was miserable. Weighing just 83 pounds, his face showed the worse signs of his weight loss. The lines in his cheekbones became completely exposed and his head became soft. “My head was sort of like a newborn baby’s,” Larson said. SEE LARSON, PAGE 15

LITTLE 500 GUIDE 2014 15

THE RIDERS

GEAR GUIDE BY ROBBY HOWARD robhowar@indiana.edu

Competing in the Little 500 requires more than just the pedals on a bicycle. Ask any rider who has taken a spill on the cinder at Bill Armstrong Stadium. Riders must purchase a range of head-to-toe gear to ensure safety in case that tire gets loose on the outside of the cinders. Gray Goat senior rider Ethan Page broke down what a rider wears on every part of his or her body for the race.

3 N N IN IN W HW H C S

IDS FILE ART

1 Head: Helmet and goggles Every rider is required to wear a helmet in the race, but it is up to the rider to choose what kind. Some prefer more aerodynamic helmets. To sell a bike helmet, it must be certified for safety, meaning most helmets provide the same amount of protection. “Your helmet is probably by far your most important thing,” Page said. “I bet you pretty much every single Little Five rider has wrecked and hit their head.” On the cinder track, dust and rocks fly everywhere. For this reason, he said sunglasses are the second most important piece of safety equipment. If a rider’s eye gets dried out or if dust flies in, that could cause the rider to fall, causing a domino effect for everyone behind. “I think sunglasses aren’t used as much for blocking the sun as much as they’re used to keep the track out of your eyes, keep the dirt out of your eyes, Page said. “I bet you every single person, again, who’s been on the track has had crap thrown up at their eyes.”

» LARSON

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 13 The weight loss caused Larson to become so small that he shopped in the children’s section for clothes. His hair became so frail that when he ran his hand through it, the hair would fall out. On March 27, 2010, Larson woke up with stomach pain considerably worse than before. He was rushed to emergency surgery at a local hospital. When he woke up a couple of days after the emergency surgery, doctors told him they had removed 19 feet of his small intestine, which the human body needs for absorbing nutrients and minerals. Just under 50 inches of his small intestine remained. The prognosis from the doctors wasn’t good. “It was drastic,” Larson said. “Doctors told my parents that I’m never going to live a normal life. You’re just going to have to manage. This is not going to get better and you’re probably going to have to go to a bigger doctor because this is beyond us.” But Larson wasn’t interested in managing. He didn’t want to be labeled as sick or different. He wanted a normal life. Larson spent most of his 2010 summer in a hospital bed at Northwestern University. He was constantly having tests run. He doesn’t like to think about the surgeries because he says he is past them at this point in life, but he had one done about every two weeks. As time passed in the hospital bed, his health started to improve. His body weight returned to a healthy number. He was able to eat again, but he remained on a strict diet. In fall 2011, normality was still far away. Larson returned to school in Bloomington, but he still spent time in and out of the hospital. “I was managing,” he said. But Larson’s health once again took a turn for the worse. He finished the fall semester, barely getting by in his classes. To this day, Larson says he is thankful for his professors understanding his situation. He returned for the spring semester, but only lasted 10 days. “I think of those 10 days, nine of them were spent in the hospital,” he said. “My condition wasn’t getting any better.” Larson returned home to rest. His condition remained the same. He wasn’t getting better, but it wasn’t getting much worse.

2 Torso: Kit Page said kit preference varies by rider. A kit, which is the jersey riders wear, is normally tightfitting compression material that cuts down on resistance. Some riders prefer as little resistance as possible, while others don’t have to have it perfect. It is up to individuals or teams to purchase kits. Prices can range from $25 to more than $200. Some companies sponsor teams and have their logos displayed on kits. “The most important thing, I would say, is to get a halfway tight jersey, just because you’ll notice your shirt flapping around in the wind a lot,” Page said. “And I know it probably doesn’t sound like a big deal, but in cycling, the less drag the better.”

Then, on Feb. 9, 2012, Larson collapsed in his home. He was immediately rushed to the hospital. Again. * * * Four days after his collapse, Larson awoke from a medically induced coma. His entire small intestine had been removed. He was relying on machines to feed him. “My system is kind of ghetto rigged,” Larson said. “I was fully dependent on the IV meds. I couldn’t take anything by mouth. If I did, I would throw up.” Twenty-eight months had passed since Larson initially began to feel sick. With no signs of his health improving, doctors began to look for solutions. The next step was an organ transplant. Larson didn’t have much choice. He was admitted to the IU Health Hospital in Indianapolis. When Larson met with the surgeon, he had just one question for him. “I want to know now, ‘Do I sell my bike? I don’t want to keep it if I’m going to be out for 10 minutes because I’m still decrepit,’” Larson said. “Oh no,” his surgeon assured him. “I’ve got you.” Larson wasn’t worried about cycling. He wanted to return to where he was before he started feeling sick. He wanted to be normal again. * * * October 4, 2012 was a special day for Larson. Normal came back. Larson was put on the organ transplant waiting list for a stomach, pancreas and small intestine. Though the small intestine was the problem, it was safer for Larson to replace the whole system. “The doctors said it was more beneficial to do those three organs because when they do donor organs, it’s like changing the engine of the car instead of the individual parts,” Larson said. While his classmates were graduating in Bloomington, Larson laid in a hospital bed, waiting for an organ transplant to come. He got the call he needed on October 3, 2012 — the organs were available. After waiting 13 weeks for an organ donor, Larson was driven to Indianapolis where, at 4:01 p.m. on October 4, 2012, he went into surgery. The operation was a

3 Hands: Gloves While sweating around the track for a couple of hours, you don’t want your hands to fall off the handles, nor do you want your hands to be full of cinder if you do wipe out. Because of this, all Little 500 riders are required to wear gloves, with or without fingers. Page said that choice depends on the weather. “If you go down, you’re not tearing your hands up with gloves,” Page said. 4 Feet: Socks and shoes Page said socks aren’t really important, and it is more a matter of personal preference. Some prefer thinner socks because of the sweating. As for shoes, riders wear something with good grip to stay on the pedals. Cycling shoes are not required, as bikers do not clip in to the bike. Page said he wears old trail running shoes. As long as it is a low-cut shoe with solid grip, he said, it doesn’t matter what you wear. “You want something that is going to grip the pedal really good, keep your feet from sliding off,” Page said. success. Larson had a new stomach, pancreas and small intestine. He said one of the best parts was simply eating again. “My first meal was McDonald’s chicken nuggets,” Larson said. “I had fantasized about them for the entire summer.” He still had therapy to go through, but he was happy. * * * The recovery process for Larson was slow at first. Simple tasks, such as climbing staircases, were difficult. For a long time, Larson said he couldn’t watch sports. It wasn’t anger — he just wanted it back. “It was just kind of taunting me,” Larson said. “‘You can’t do this.’” Doctors kept setting bars for Larson. Every time an expectation was set, he wanted to shatter it. Every bar, he wanted raised. After the first initial checkpoints were reached, Larson’s recovery started to quicken. Before long, Larson was walking. Walking quickly turned into jogging, jogging into running. Normal didn’t seem too far away. * * * “The bike will wait for you.” It was a message from Christian Vande Velde, who rode in the Tour De France for the U.S. Postal Service team. Vande Velde is from Lemont, Ill., only 20 miles from Larson’s home. Vande Velde was getting maintenance on his bike at a shop where Alpha Chi Omega rider Kelsey Tharnstrom worked. She told him of Larson’s story and he wrote the message, along with his autograph, on a plain piece of white paper. Larson got it framed. “It just felt good hearing from someone else like him,” Larson said. “It was hard seeing my friends graduate from college, doing adult things, having responsibilities. It was just nice to hear from someone close to home.” The first time Larson got back on his bike was at home. It was 20 degrees outside. When his father saw him taking the bike from the house, he told his son there was no way he would be able to go out. “So I took that as, ‘Alright. I’m going out now,’” Larson said. Larson hopped on his bike and almost immediately fell over. He laughed it off and

5 Lower body: Bike shorts and bibs Bike shorts have extra padding inside to cut down on any discomfort that might arise due to the position of the bike’s saddle. “You also want bike shorts for sure on those,” Page said. “You’ll get a nice little bruise in your manhood areas if you don’t have a nice pad.” Page also said extremely tight bike shorts are important for exchanges because having just the smallest amount of flap could cause the rider to get stuck and wreck the exchange. Page wears a wrestlingtype uniform called a bib that has suspender-like straps over the shoulders, then comes down to the lower body to provide for a tight fit underneath bike shorts. “It keeps your shorts from moving down,” Page said.

started again. He made it three miles from his house when he started to feel pain. “I thought, ‘oh man this is brutal,’” Larson recalled, laughing. But that cold winter day was the start. Each day Larson would push himself a little bit further. His goal was always to go the farthest on the fourth of each month — the anniversary of his surgery. He challenged himself to ride a path he hadn’t done before or to go somewhere new. “It kept me motivated,” Larson said. “I kept saying, ‘What am I going to do this month?’” After months of training, Larson got back into competitive shape. For the first time in years, he had no setbacks. In summer 2013, Larson’s road to the Little 500 began.

* * * It took five years, but in December, Larson finally got his own kit. “This was the first year that I didn’t get hand-me-downs,” Larson said. “I think I wore that DU kit four out of five days at the track.” To an outsider, the kit was just a blue and yellow jacket and spandex. But to Larson, it was a sign that he had made it. “On the track, every team kind of recognizes each other by the kit,” he said. “It was just kind of cool to finally be — it sounds lame — but part of the team.” When Martin first got a text from Larson asking to ride, he wasn’t prepared for how serious Larson was. “He came out and was in his full kit,” Martin said. “He had his carbon fiber bike, legs shaved. He was ready to go.” Thirty miles of riding later, Larson was keeping up with Martin and the other riders. His months of preparation had paid off. Martin was impressed. “We hammered it out for a good afternoon,” Martin said. “I was like, ‘Wow, you’re an asset to this team.’” From that moment on, Larson wasn’t just back on the team. He was back where he had been, nearly four years earlier. He was riding for Delta Upsilon in the Little 500. “I wanted this illness to have a definite beginning and a definite end,” Larson said. “I wanted to pick it up right where I left off with these guys. “It was over.”

1 MEN’S RACE

ROWS

WOMEN’S RACE is allowed to have a pit crew not exceeding two persons — one in the pit and one on the infield with a bicycle.

three pits for an exchange, two seconds; and unsportsmanlike conduct, five to 20 seconds, depending on severity.

THE LINEUP The order of the starting lineup will be determined by the qualification times. The teams will be grouped into rows of three, starting with the No. 1 pole position team on the inside of the track. All No. 1 riders will be mounted and ready five minutes before the pace lap, after which time no crew member will be allowed on the inside of the track.

CHANGING RIDERS Teams will be allowed to change riders as often as they wish, but they must change a minimum of 10 times in the men’s race and five times in the women’s race. Each bike exchange must begin in front of the pit of the team concerned, and it must be completed by the time the rider taking over has reached the far limits of the next pit on the right. Should the incoming rider fail to start the exchange in front of the correct pit, he or she must continue around for one more lap. If the rider backs up, the team will be subject to penalty. The outgoing rider may use the preceding pit to run and gain momentum for the exchange, but the actual exchange of the bike must take place in the correct pit area.

PENALTIES Teams guilty of violating these rules shall be penalized no more than 20 seconds. This time will be spent in the penalty box located near the starting line. A black flag given to the team shall indicate that a penalty has been imposed. Penalties include Impeding another team, including riders and pit crew; 10 to 20 seconds; illegal exchange from bicycle A to bicycle B, two seconds; using more than

PITS Each team will be assigned a pit along the outside of the track according to its qualification position. These pits are approximately 16 feet wide and 6 feet deep. All exchanges and bicycle repairs must be made within these boundaries. An exception is when adjacent teams are exchanging simultaneously, one team may step beyond the restraining line to complete its exchange. Each team

Each year, three jersey colors are designated.

THE RACE The women’s race is 100 laps, which is equivalent to 25 miles, while the men’s race is 200 laps, or roughly 50 miles. Both races are on the quarter-mile cinder track at Bill Armstrong Stadium. Entrants are given one-speed Schwinn bicycles. Teams are made up of as many as four riders. The riders treat the race much like a running relay. When a rider is tired, they exchange the bicycle with a teammate. Any fulltime IU undergraduate can ride in the Little 500.

The white jersey goes to the winner of cumulative Spring Series event points.

ALUMNI TM

A brief history of the Little 500 race BY MISSY WILSON | meliwils@indiana.edu | @missywilson28

1950 APRIL 1951 The first Little 500, modeled after the Indy 500, took place at the old stadium, which is now the Arboretum. The South Hall Buccaneers, a team from Collins, won the race.

APRIL 1955 Since women were not allowed to compete in the race, the Student Foundation created the Mini 500, a tricycle race for women.

1960

1970

1980

APRIL 1968 The United Anti-Racist Movement sponsored a sit-in the night before the race and demanded fraternities eliminate charter clauses keeping black students out of their organizations or include clauses that made national charters void at IU. After 3 hours of protest, the race went on.

JULY 13, 1979 “Breaking Away,” a movie featuring the story of the formation of the Cutters team, was released. Scenes from the film were shot on campus, in the Indiana Memorial Union and outside the Delta Delta Delta sorority house.

Instead of paying his rent,

invest in his future. The IU Alumni Association enlisted OI Partners to give IU grads unprecedented access to hands-on help. A coach can help your grad land a job or make a mark in his ﬁrst job, develop a networking strategy, and build a personal brand for lifelong success. A beautifully wrapped, meaningful gift — all for less than you might spot your kid for a month’s rent.

APRIL 1984 The Cutters won their first race. APRIL 1986 Women’s Kappa Alpha Theta attempted to qualify in the men’s race and missed by one spot.

1990

APRIL 1988 The first women’s Little 500 race took place, with a victory by the team Wilkie Sprint. The women’s race is 100 laps, half the distance of the men’s. APRIL 1992 “Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar,” a Bollywood movie based on the race, was made.
