The Shiner ride podium picture. The dorky clip on aero bar bikes proved too ugly for the Wooly Mammoth/Castle Hill Crew to draft, making it impossible to have arctic rainbow on the podium.
For some reason, the two decided it would be proper to join a 109 mile "fun" ride with the Woolly Mammoth team. They may have decided to join because Paolo from Castle Hill was offering free breakfast from Food For Fitness - and who can resist such an offer?
The ride was "chill" for about 8 miles until the start line, until Patricio (the Woolly Mammoth gatekeeper) mustered up the urge to act 'pro.' Being pro consisted of passing everyone with a Camelpack and traditional non-clip peddles going 29 miles and hour. Taylor took the challenge as a threat to his manhood and held race pace for about 50 miles. Although Katie was holding on, in reality she was hurting bad from her long run the day before.
After about 50 miles (with 60 left to go), Taylor and Katie broke away so they did not have to be around fish frog dork bike riders with clip-on aerobars. Into the headwind they suffered.... Katie drafted until Taylor had to unclip because of an sharp cramp in his quad. Could it be genetics?
The cramping continued and the pace slowed to no faster than 14 miles and hour. Suddenly out of nowhere, a fat woman comes zooming by. They could not believe their eyes. Her legs and arms were made completely of fat and bone, and somehow, she was going faster than the two fittest people in miles. The last 10 miles were brutal. Taylor caught a second breath, similar to Jesus Christ being resurrected. The power of the Tri-berry Gu sent Taylor on his way to victory in Shiner, TX. It is speculated that they were about the first 25 people who made it into town.
In the end, it was a marvelous day full of great team work from 'Team L.' They started together, and they ended together - the way it should be.
