1, 2, 3.......

the day start a little off.. the sky was overcast the rain was patchy and the crit was iffy..jason and i spoke a little before we decided to go and hit it.. the course was damp, my gi system was active...what a mess. neither of us warmed up, but oh well. we had a good group in the field: ruff, zach, yount, jason and i.. i sat in the back to get warmed up and then went for the first prime, $10 woo hoo.... nailed it and then i knew i was warmed up. we controlled the rest of the race, jason took the next couple primes, dinking me out of the $20 one that came next..punk. i head someone say we, our race team that is, "gang-banged the field" ahaha, yeah guess that's the truth.. we took every prime except for the final one which came at 3 laps to go, then we took 1, 2, 3 for the finish......it was awesome! 1jason, 2casey, 3me....nice job....no one stood a chance.. oh and did i mention that we started with some 50+ guys and we finished with 17....ouch, that must have hurt...

final day of the tour of utah, and you know what that means it's crit time....what a great crit to watch.. it was fast, it was fun, there was lots of energy in the crowd.. our job was easy as we didn't really have much supporting to do... so we got to hang out, check out the expo, eat tasty food in the vip tent... watch and cheer for our crew...was a blast...
