Armada Time Trial #8

This coming Sunday Team Colavita is planning to compete in the final Team Armada Time Trial of 2009 in Lake Mary. For more information click here. The junior category is going to be split into two age groups, 13 and under and 14-17 year-olds. We are looking forward to a good turnout of Colavita Junior riders as well as the Lake County PAL kids. After the TT, we will do a 30 mile ride in the Lake Monroe/ Lake Mary area.

Colavita Juniors at Nationals

Congratulations to the Colavita juniors who raced at this year's Nationals Championships in Bend, OR. There was some really tough racing going on with huge fields of riders from all over the country. The racers from Florida were said to have traveled the farthest to get to Nationals, from the most southeastern state all the way across the country to Oregon. Anselm Teather, Christian Teather, Casey Braga, Jos Chalmers and Michelle Blake each lined up for their races confident in their training and hoping to do their very best. Crashes, heat, and lack of humidity held back some riders during Tuesday's Road Races but after a couple days rest (and a little bit of team fun including a trip to Crater Lake) they were back and ready to race the Time Trial. Anselm and Christian both suffered from mishaps during their races but still pulled through and finished. Casey came across the line in 2nd place but as more riders came he settled for 13th out of the 57 racers in his field, a great feat. Michelle broke the top ten in her category and Jos came across with a strong finish for his 24k time trial. The following morning Michelle made podium during the criterium, only a few bike lengths behind first in the sprint finish. Casey and Jos had difficulty staying with their extremely fast fields but stayed in the race long enough to place. Great Job to everyone, you made Colavita and Florida proud just by being there.
