Teva Mountain Games

We're headed back to Colorado this week for more racing. Vail this time. Never been there, but suspect it will be a cool place, and even if it's not, there's going to be plenty going on over the weekend. We'll be racing in the Teva Mountain Games, and this one will be the most gear intensive race of the year - I'll be doing the Ultimate Mountain Challenge and Annie will be making her debut as a mountain bike racer, road bike racer, and mud runner (can't wait for that one). Here are the gear piles...

Shoes & helmets

Race vehicles


Race kits

I know, I know - your thinking "dude, your wife's cool without, but I've seen you run - and since it's probably most important of all, need to point out that you left your running helmet out of the pile". Last time I wore it I got laughed at, seems not that many folks need/wear them, so I'm breaking away...

If nothing else, we should stay busy changing clothes and gear - and it all goes down over the course of two days. Should be a riot, can't wait!

Just make sure and take those clip-on aero bars off before you get back home. They're hard to look at.

Mark - can't say for sure, but suspect those clip ons may have a year or two on you. Picked up some S curve clip ons earlier this week that I'll be testing. Annie's debating on whether or not she wants to insult her bike by putting the old school bars on it... me... I have no shame - not above me to show up for a road ride after a recent race with them still on...
