USAT Age Group Nationals

Curt arrived home from Oregon, not the National Champion but after having quite possibly the race of his life. He was third in his age group, qualifying him for Worlds in Germany, and be had an absolute BATTLE to the finish line. Typically in a head to head duel Curt would fade. But not today. He put it down on the line and he did it. Way to go Curt!

He arrived home just a bit ago and most importantly he immediately handed me a bag of whole bean Oregon Coffee. Hooray!

Tom Dutton took 4th in the 60-64. The fastest man in transition (even feature in a transition DVD...) crashed his bike coming out of transition, bending his large chainring. After spinning through the whole course in his small ring, he still managed to run down most of the field!

Congrats to Jen Harrison who was 6th in her age group and to her good friend Jennifer Garrison who defended her Overall National Champion title for the second year in a row.

Y'all get some rest..... I am off to ride 100, after a fresh cup of joe.

Thanks for stopping by.
