Nice work.
Michael Tobin is a fast dude--he has been putting the hurt to Boise cyclists for a long time.
You guys were wicked fast. Maybe there is something to all the light scarpa & dynafit gear you guys were using.
Maybe next time I'll try and do a race not in my Nordica Beasts and 187cm skis. Anyways, it was a super fun race and good job on the high-placing finish.
