Long Course Duathlon World Championship 2007-Richmond, VA
It is 1 hour and 2 minutes into the race. First 9.3miles of the run course are done. I fly into transition and onto my AEGIS Victory, knowing the technical 4 loop 50 mile course ahead of me. Jeff (my husband) and I had talked about the plan for the bike quite a bit the day before while driving and riding the course. It was a technical course with very rough roads in some areas. Throw into that some pretty nasty turns along the way and it made for an interesting ride. On lap 1, I was pretty conservative. Lap 2, I passed the 2nd place girl in my age group. One down and one to go. Lap 3, I was getting the hang of the lines I needed to ride on the hills and corners, and I passed the girl in 1st place. Riding my AEGIS road bike in the race made a HUGE difference. After emailing Greg (from AEGIS) and showing him the course with all its turns and technical sections, I knew I made the right choice. I was on the right machine for this course. I was in my drops often on the corners and really kept up my speed rather then riding in bars and loosing my lines/speed. The race was now mine to win or lose. I just needed to have a strong last lap, but not loose site of the turns, corners and get careless.

50 miles later I jump off my bike for the last 4.6 miles of the race. I head off, picking off about 4-5 women along the way. They all yell words of encouragement as I continue toward the finish line. 4 hours and 2 minutes later I cross the finish line-7th overall and the 2007 25-29 Age Group World Champion.

Thank you Greg and everyone at AEGIS for your support and encouragement. On to 2008!

I just wanted to thank everyone there for my new, metallic lupine Trident I purchased at Midcoast Multisport. I took her for a little test drive at the Kennebunk Fire Co. Triathlon this weekend and she blew away the competition. I was seriously riding on air, passing people all the way. I thought your company would be happy to hear that after the race, an unknown male came up to me and asked, "Was that you on the Aegis bicycle (pause), the PURPLE Aegis bicycle?" I could only smile and say yes. I love my new bike! Thanks so much!

(1st place finish at the Kennebunk Fire Co. Triathlon...hopefully more fun races to come!

More "Major" (Kate) race news
Major took control of the women's race with a superb bike (T2), building a huge lead to coast to the women's title with an overall time of nine hours, 24 minutes and 42 seconds. The win was the first of Major's career, and came over a women's field that featured three athletes who had claimed Ironman titles in their careers. Major's time of 9:24:42 set a new course record at the Lake Placid event and her bike split of 5:06:49 broke the women's bike course record at Lake Placid by almost 15 minutes!

Here are some initial comments on my new Victory...

As a frame of reference, I'm 60 and a B recreational rider. I have a course
I ride regularly through my neighborhood. It's two miles a lap, and I usually do five laps, several times a week. I keep track of my times. I spent a few days just getting accustomed to the Victory. Yesterday, I decided to push it a little - not to the max - and see how my time compared to prior times. I shaved a minute and forty seconds off my prior best time,and my average speed was up eight tenths MPH. Since I transferred my wheels and drivetrain from my prior bike, there was only one variable and only one explanation for the improvement - - the Victory. In addition to the performance increase, the Victory is extremely comfortable to ride, and it delivers a really satisfying "feel" of the road that is hard to describe. And of course, it's a gorgeous hunk of eye candy.

This is a damn outstanding bike. Nice work, guys. The bad news for you is that I'll probably keep it for a long, long time, so don't look for me to be a repeat customer any time soon.

T2 debut at Ralph's 1/2 FeHomme Tri
The bike was a dream machine!!!!!!!! I had my best tri-bike leg EVER!!!! I averaged 18.9 mph (2:58) My bike leg was better than run and swim. Everything worked perfectly. Very hilly and windy bike course--two 10% grade hills. My overall time was 5:27/19th place in age group. Run time was 1:43/swim was slow 39:00--and transitions were very slow--had to get my make up.. I nearly froze during the swim. I only saw two other T2's--one was light orange, the other was black but not RS. Definately the best looking bike at the race!
WOW! AWESOME bike!
Jen Johnso
WOW--that bike is fast.

Aegis for life
My bike shop pro (Bryan @ Scats Bikes) is now setting up the Victory I bought from you. When I brought it in to him, I told him I thought I had bought one of the two or three best production frames being made anywhere in the world. He said I was wrong. He said I had bought THE best. He then expressed his condolences to me, saying he was sorry I bought it, because after I ride it I'll never want to ride anything else.

Looking forward to many happy miles on this great bike.
Thanks!
