Tour of Utah Update and Profile
(my Trek Madone - the ride for the week)
This tour has been very hard, but great training. We have one more day left and it is the Time Trial. I am looking forward to tomorrow, but it is only a 7 mile event. Wish it was closer to 56 or 112 miles. My chances of a win would be much better.
Today was a huge day of racing. 100 miles and 15,000 ft of climbing!!! What a day. I was working for my team most of the day so I had a chance to work hard most of the day. Today was the hardest I have ridden a 100 miles ever. I can feel my fitness increasing and I think the timing is great for my lead to Kona.
(Garmin Chipolte - came straight from the Tour De France- making the pace wicked fast and hard)
(Rock Racing- Tyler Hamilton and other Olympic and Tour de France riders keeping the everyone honest)
(Stage 1 - not an easy day, but considered easy compared to everything else)
Good training day with a short run after
(Stage 2 - crazy hard and fast pace and attacks all day non stop - 10,000 ft of climbing)
(Stage 4 - 2 of the 3 climbs are rated Hors Category (HC) (HARD CLIMBS!! Making this 15,000 ft of climbing difficult)
Great Training Day with a short run after
