Riders departed in one minute intervals on the 20k course, and Chris Reel (35:30/ 13th Cat 5) did his best to hold a steady power on the windy course. Chris later said that he didn't feel very fast (which is odd since Chris is a very strong rider) and upon returning to the pits could see why. His rear tire was not aligned properly and was rubbing the chain stay for the entire time, and left red shavings covering the side of the bike.
Lauren Long (40:09/ 25th Cat 5) was trying out her power meter on her second ride outdoors, and did a very good job of controlling both bike and power in the gusty winds. She really seemed to enjoy the event and was all smiles - not uncommon for Lauren.
Alvah Aldrich (32:04/ 5th Cat 1) had a great ride on his shiny new Trek Speed Concept. Alvah has improved his power on the bike tremendously over the winter, and it was great to see him put that fitness to good use. Alvah's running has been progressing extremely well, and we hope to see some terrific performances from him this year. Very fast ride and a great way to start the year!
Finally, Dan Jarecke (29:12/ 1st Cat 1) also got to put his new Speed Concept to the test and really enjoyed the ride. The folks at Geneva Bike Center have really helped with his fit this year, and the bike feels terrific.
Thanks to everyone that came out and ran the event - from signup to scoring the event was very well done! Team Nice Tri expects to be back to upcoming events with the Buffalo Bicycling Club in the future!
