Season Opener: CRANS!

So for the 2nd year in a row the Extreme Team hit up Crans on the opening weekend. I met up with Tom and Jay at Lavaux early in the AM Saturday. As we arrived we hoped the clouds would break but it was a little cool and foggy:

Bike,Run, Swim:The CH Triathlon

The weather has been marginal this Spring but the weekend of the 4th through the 6th was perfect. Friday night KK and I just chilled in Carouge and I prepared for a day of biking with J. I woke up on Saturday to picture perfect day and headed to Biel for some DH at the local telepherique.

It was a nice day of biking with J, but I had to run home to attend the CH vs. IT friendly at the Stade. After a quick turn around KK headed to the Stade to meet up with Mette and Alex. En route:

The game ended in a 1-1 draw which was a good result before the team headed to South Africa. KK was spent so we headed home to rest up to Sunday.
Sunday arrived and it was another perfect day so KK and I headed to Evian for a nice chill day:

When we arrived we were surprised by amount of bikers around and we found out it was the Critérium du Dauphiné
Photobucket
It was a perfect day so we hit up the pools first and then went a watched the race...one thing that we didn't know was the town was fully surrounded by the competition so we could not escape until 7..but that was OK we made the best of it and had a coffee and watched the race.:
