Day 1: Update from TS 3 - Blythe, CA

Team ViaSat has one goal: be the first to make it to Annapolis, MD. They are fast and strong, but there is one team that is going to give them a run for their money: Team Type I--last year's winners. Jeremy and Andrew got Team ViaSat off to a strong start pulling through time station 1 about five minutes ahead of Team Type I. About 60 miles in Andrew took a spill coming around a turn. He walked away with a good road rash and torn cycling kit but good spirits. Ed, the driver didn't miss a beat and we were able to get Jeremy back on the course while Andrew fixed his chain. Meanwhile Type I gained some ground, coming into TS 2 neck and neck with ViaSat. Ryan and Tobias took over at 8 p.m. PST, heading into the desert at dusk. They passed through TS 3 right before midnight, seven minutes behind Type I.
