Crit was today in downtown Salt Lake City. Nothing interesting happened from my perspective. Just got really fast at the end and I finished with the group.

Since I don't have much to say I'll leave you with some random thoughts from the week.

Yesterday I almost got spit on by Tyler Hamilton. He was looking around all funny then dropped back to miss me. Damn, I could have sold that on ebay.

Word is that Rory Sutherland, NRC points leader, said that yesterday's stage was the hardest race he's ever done in North America. And I finished with him.

The wife and kids came back from grandma's at the host house we're staying at. I've learned that if you listen to 5, 3.5 and 2 year olds, they'll just keep talking and talking.

It's awesome having a team for support. I wake up in the morning and my bike is ready to go. I get done with the race and everything is ready for me to just sit down and chill. The guys are awesome. Thank you Bobs-Bicyles.com.
