remember in yesterday's blog when i said sparky was going to pull of a magical win? well, i predicted correctly, and the david blaine of cycling is undefeated at the hugo road race.
here's how it went down. excel racer mateeeejha embarrassed her team by attacking while we all agreed on a pee break. this is a huge, and i mean huge no-no in bike racing etiquette. (i have a feeling she never took this class) so we finally catch her and renee has an amazing counter attack that only triathlon time trialer trish could hang with. then they went riding off into the sun and wind together hand in hand. it was great.
when i got back to the car i saw that i had been riding with a huge hole in my tire for 40 miles. i am guessing it was when the crash happened right in front of me. i got real lucky, her bike went one way, she went the other, and i went right through the middle of the chaos. it was as if the seas parted for me. thankfully she is okay and got back in the race.
public service announcement: jon either had his easton slx wheel set w/ ti cassette stolen or mistakenly taken from the wheel car today. if you see anyone sporting a new pair of these with gray tires and isn't on the vitamin cottage team please get on the http://www.tetoncycling.com/ site and email us or post it. thanks.

Question: Is it also a huge no-no to attack in the feed zone... Just asking.
