Saturday was the annual Haystack Time Trial (TT) and Team Time Trial (TTT). Both races are held on a relatively short course and only a stone throw from Boulder. The TTT is the only event of it's kind on the calendar for 2010, so bragging rights were on the line. The weather was near perfect for the individual time trail, with light winds and cool temps. Unfortunately the weather turned horrible in the afternoon for the TTT, as the photos prove out.
The photo on the left is Pete Ismert leading the 45 Plus team during the TTT. The boys brought home the victory and defeated the Vic's team on a course Vic's has owned. As you can tell in the photo the TT stud Gene motivated the boys by yelling at the top of his lungs the entire time! Way to go to Gene, Matt V., Peter I., Jeff O., and Jimi.
Here you can see the entire 45 Plus team in formation with Jimi Gibson taking the lead. Gene managed to run his undefeated streak in time trial up to 3 races in the morning, by winning the TT. Then made himself 4 for 4 with the afternoon win with his team.
Here is Matt Segur during the 35 Plus TTT effort. Matt had a strong morning taking 3rd place in the TT and came back in the rain to help the 35 Plus team take second overall in their TTT. They would have liked the win, but they did beat the teams they needed to beat.
The 35 Plus Team Time Trail squad in full formation, as lead by LT. Team members were left to right Matt S., Marcel, Josh, LT, and Pete L. (hidden behind LT).It should be noted the old guys (the 45 Plus team) beat the young guys (the 35 Plus team) at the TTT for the 3rd race in a row, going back to 2009. One of these day the 35 plus squad is going to turn the tables, but not this year in the rain.
