Flats, Crashes, and Fun at VOS

Kelli and I headed to VOS in Phoenix, AZ for Friday's 3 day stage race. In short the TT left KJ with a blow out, the RR left myself behind two crashes- the last crash on the final ascent to the finish, and the crit...well it summed up the 3 days...it just wasn't gonna come together for either of us- but we rode hard and never gave up despite our many unexpected setbacks. I love the first race of the season because everything that can go wrong does and you just deal with it, move forward, and keep pedaling. VOS had a great field this year- 80+ with the 3's added in and a lot of So Cal girls in the mix along with Oregon, Utah, Colorado, Az, and Texas. Both Dana and Holly were great hosts and we appreciated their hospitality and wish Holly a speedy recovery.
