Tonight was the first the first stage of the Tour of Alberta. It was a 20km Team Time Trial (TTT) in the city of Grande Prairie. With a 6:15 pm start it meant we sat around the hotel all day waiting for the race. We left the hotel for the time trial to frigid cold temps and lots of wind. There were a lot of turns on the course, so it was very tough with the wind. We rode very strongly and consistently with everyone taking hard and smooth pulls. Our team has a bunch of super strong riders. I came off with about 3km to go, and the rest of the team finished together. We came in 45 seconds down on Trek Factory Racing in 11th place. It was a super solid ride from our first team time trial a few months ago. Tomorrow is a 172km stage that starts and finishes in Grand Prairie. It should be a cold and windy one.
