Tour of Utah Non-Stage

Tourahil_1Today was supposed to be the last and final stage of the Tour of Utah. It was a time trial in Eagle Mountain over by Cedar Fort. The weather looked ominous when we left the hotel, then while driving over we saw the results of a nasty hailstorm that just went by. When we got to the race location, we weren’t sure what the deal was. That brief storm had passed, but the skies didn’t look good and it was super windy. Things were delayed but no one knew for how long. It was a pretty chaotic scene. Some people were warming up on trainers, others hanging out in their cars or in the entranceway of the church building we were parked at. After about an hour, the officials finally decided to call the stage. Heather and I both agreed that this was a smart decision but it was amazing to hear how some people were ticked off. Personally, I probably would have benefitted from doing the TT but when it comes to issues of safety, I err on the side of being too safe. So the GC results after yesterday’s road race is where everything would remain.
