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)

(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
