Saturday night NEMS attended the 2010 Harpoon Brewery Indoor Time Trail at Harpoon Brewery in Boston, MA. This is a video of the team heat including Boston Triathlon team and team Psycho. The event was quite interesting and there was a lot of great riders there including Jarrod Shoemaker and a couple other professionals. However, this was quite a disappointing day for me. I was supposed to be in the 9pm heat, but was not able to race because they were running about 2 hours behind schedule. I just wasn’t interested in starting my trial at 11:00pm when I had to be up to do things Sunday morning.
