Was it a vision of the Olympic future ? a self-admitted "learner" just playing with the Oceania Games road and time-trial cycle fields over the weekend?
Mind you, her name was Sarah Ulmer, and while she says she has a long way to go in her new road cycling career, there are others who believe she's a little bit more advanced than she's prepared to admit.
Ulmer took the Games doubles of the Saturday time-trial by around a minute from Australian great Kathy Watt ? and then yesterday's road race, where her dominance than the final 36sec advantage over New Zealand team-mate Susie Wood.
The Olympic pursuit champion will now take a two-day rest before preparing for the Commonwealth Games in March. Why only two days?
"We've got bikes to design, fun rides to organise, a Commonwealth Games programme to plan ? hopefully."
Other than this, Ulmer, a modest person despite her colossal ability, refused to talk about what she could achieve at the Commonwealth Games until she actually saw her name in the team.
Now, what game, courageous selector, or sport, would leave Ulmer out when she's proven so dominant in just her learning phase?
She proved her mastery early in the race yesterday, when she skipped across the gap from the bunch to join three other Kiwis ? Susie Wood, Michelle Hyland, and Toni Bradshaw ? who had ridden away earlier.
Ulmer used the daunting Goat Valley hill to make her move, proving she could do the very hard yards when wanted.
These four kept away from the field for the rest of the 115km race, finally breaking up before the finish where Ulmer rode away from Wood, who similarly rode away from Bradshaw (third) and Hyland (fourth), who finished together.
Watt, who niggled away at the head of the bunch without ever quite garnering the forces around her to chase the Kiwis effectively, was fifth, 4min 32sec back, with fellow Aussie Rochelle Gilmore sixth.
Wanganui's Brei Gudsell was ninth after some hard mid-race work. "The three got away early and it looked like a dangerous break," Ulmer said. "So I went on the hill and got across."
The effects of the ride had her struggling for a while, but Ulmer says her fellow Kiwis "looked after me. I was hurting a lot, but took a bit of a breather and found my legs again."
Ulmer says she's enjoyed her year, trying something new. She's not bad at it ? a quick learner.
