Even though the IHB team didn't race on Sunday, it was an exciting event. The course is quite challenging and very technical. It was shaped like a bent paperclip, with two straight-aways, a couple of 180 degree turns and some 50 feet of climbing <em>per lap</em>.

There was a frightening crash on the last lap of the last race, but everyone walked away.

Teamwork was key and very much in evidence, as Rock Racing's Rashaan Bahati pointed out when stepped up to take the medal.

The most thrilling race was the women's pro race, where Brook Miller rode to victory, with the help of her team. It was a hard fought victory. Here's a a break-away early in the race. I was cheering for Rock Racing (the rider in front):

We met many of the racers and found them to be friendly, and in most cases <em>hawt.</em> Some of these guys and gals really rock the lycra!
