This past weekend saw Trent Olsen and Darren Goff take on the Utah State Crit Championships. Trent is proving to be a force in the Masters B field. This is guys 35 + who are Cat 4's and 5's. After suffering 2 flats in the last 2 races, he pulled though the crit event and sprinted to second place! That makes 3 podiums for TE in the first 3 races of the season. Unfortunately, Darren wasn't so lucky. Darren made the upgrade to Cat 4 after taking second place in the first 2 events of the year. He was in a break away with 3 or 4 others when a rider in front of him went down. Darren had no where to go but into the barriers. He's a little road rashed but says he'll be ready for Bear Lake. Here's what Trent had to say:
"Darren was riding so strong and no doubt in my mind had this race won!!! He did a lot of work out front and still had more power to give when the crash happened. Darren had no where to go when the guy in front of him went down and Darren hit the plastic barrier pretty hard!! Darren, You still ROCK in my book cause we know who OWNED that race! Hope you heal quick brotha!"
We'll see 10 of the 11 member race team at the Bear Lake Classic on May 15th. Look for TE to make a showing there and continue the success. Here's some photos from yesterday's crit action.
