THAT'S A WRAP FROM TEVA....

Alot of people have these during the Teva Mountain Games weekend in Vail, Colorado. They all have huge jobs, and somehow they pull off a HUGE event, it is beyond reason that all of this stuff can go on at once for four days, but it does, and its' great. Can't wait for 2011.

Below is Benjamin Day, he is about to attack the most difficult part of the Teva Games Road Bike Time Trial, the very beginning of the onslaught up Vail Pass in East Vail. Benjamin Day shattered the record on this course two years ago with a time of 25:48, which was held by Andy Hampsten during the Coors Classic. One of the amazing priviledges I have as the race director of thsi event is being able to sweep behind the last rider of the day, in this case Benjamin Day on his way to a dominate victory at today's Teva Games. I follow closely, and make note of his recovery spin cycles and where he steps on the gas, it's simply amazing to witness this power management. I heard him speaking with teammate Phil Zajicek and Greg Krause at the finish line and explaining how he was having some trouble holding 380 watts during the climb, this is a beastly number, this is a well deserving champion...

Katie Compton regained her top spot on the podium in the TT on Sunday with a convinving win, Kelli Emmett finishing second. On Saturday it was JHK and Georgia Gould dominating their respective fields for victories. Local fav Jay Henry finished on the third spot of the podge.

With temps hovering around 90 degrees F today, Gore Creek and the Eagle River reached a twenty year high flooding a small part of Vail Village....it was impressive to say the least. Thanks to the TT set up crew for sand bagging the upper part of the course which was literally under water 15 minutes prior to the start of the race, well done pards...

During today's time trial, Phil Zajicek (10th at the Tour Of California) was getting set to go on the starting ramp, we had 60 seconds until he rolled, so I saw it fit as the event announcer to ask him what he thought about David Zabriskie's YouTube Video, to which he laughed and responded, which one?
