Jarrod Shoemaker Finishes 18th
Great News Everyone!!!!
Fluid athlete Jarrod Shoemaker placed 18th at the Beijing Olympics today. While earning his top twenty finish, Shoemaker was also the second American to finish behind Hunter Kemper who placed seventh. Jarrod finished with an overall time of 1:50:46 which was only two minutes behind Gold Medal Winner, Germany's Jan Frodeno. Jarrod's time splits were; Swim: 18:19 Bike 58:47 Run 32:27.
We at Fluid could not be more proud of our elite athlete Jarrod Shoemaker. While showing his grit and determination on such a global scale, we can truly see that all of Jarrod's hard work has paid off. Only being 25 years old, gives the impression that this is the only the beginning for Jarrod and we look to be in his corner along the way.
Great job Jarrod, we are sure that all of your friends and family are as proud of you as we all are!
Thank you for being a part of Team Fluid!

Tour Of Utah Day 4 & 5 Report
Stage 4, as predicted was tortuous.
Brian Forbes succumbed with a time cut after struggling with a mechanical (not to mention all the mountains). Jake and Kyle were able to complete the stage with Jake reporting a 4,000 kJ day, for those of you who speak that language. Kiel Reijnen lost some time on the leaders of the Best Young rider competition slipping to 4th.The stage saw several riders "DNF" or be eliminated by the time cut. Featured is a pic from Friday's criterium showing Brian Forbes in a move with a Jittery Joes and Hagens Berman riders.
The final stage 5
Consisting of a short 7.5 individual time trial did not affect the standing of RIDECLEAN. Three RIDECLEAN riders finished "America's Toughest Stage Race." Congrats to them!

Wait...what is all this Tour of Utah RideCLEAN stuff?
Hello Friends!
Ok, it just occurred to us at Fluid that you may have no idea what we're talking about with all this Tour of Utah biz...
Here's the deal - Fluid is about more than a really good recovery drink. Fluid is about honesty, health, and progression in sports and sports science. The option of cheating in competition in sport has existed as long as sport itself, but has become more prevalent in recent history as the monetary stakes have risen. Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, Marion Jones, Tyler Hamilton - all heroes at one time or another in different sports, found later to have used a banned substance to get them to their competitive peak.
Several months ago, Fluid founders David Brown and Richard Smith pledged to spearhead a campaign on education, innovation, and clean sport rather than shortcuts. The very next day, they were introduced to the founders of RideCLEAN by total coincidence. RideCLEAN is an organization committed to promoting CLEAN sport through education and top tier clean athlete examples. No cheating, no shortcuts, just fair competition and lots of it. Their roots are in cycling, but their message crosses all sports. It was a perfect match and after 4 days of the Tour of Utah complete, the energy between the two groups is astoundingly complimentary.
Team Fluid is privileged to work alongside RideCLEAN and we look forward to many shared challenges and shared successes in the future. Make sure to check out the RideCLEAN bio on the Fluid site: http://livefluid.com/rideclean.php

Tour of Utah - Day 3 Report
Tour of Utah ( www.tourofutah ) Stage 3
This will be a short report as this was a short race (60 minute evening criterium in downtown Salt Lake City) which had no impact on the overall standings. All remaining RIDECLEAN riders made it through to contest today's brutally mountainous race. The race was very well attended and the thunderous cheering was well received. The main impact day 3 had on RIDECLEAN was the abandonment of Ryan Trebon who exited the race after waking up with a sore throat. Not wanting to compromise his mountain bike race next week he rolled out of Park City early in the day. It is a real bummer for the team as Ryan's climbing ability would have been a real asset to Keil Reijnen's bid for the Best Young Rider competition in which he sits tied for 2nd place 1:19 behind Garmin Chipotle's Peter Stetina. Thanks for reading and thanks for your continued support! Stay tuned for today's stage 4 report...

Tour of Utah - Day 2 Report
Stage 2, with over 10,000 ft. of climbing, at the Tour of Utah took its toll on RIDECLEAN.81752/garmin-s-caldwell-takes-tour-of-utah-stage-race-lead ) some paid heavily for their efforts which resulted in Jon Chodroff DNF'ing. Next to slip away, at the base of the climb, was an eight-rider group, which split on the steep early slopes. Leading the way up the climb were Garmin’s Caldwell and Peter Stetina, joined by BMC’s Scott Nydam. Following behind were Ted King (Bissell) Kiel Reijnen (RideClean), Chris Jones (Team Type 1), Mike Creed (Rock Racing) and points leader Brad White (Successful Living), who spent stage 1 off the front with Donald and Sheldon Deeny (Fan Sports Network composite team). Drew Miller, one of the nation's top climbers over nearly two decades with wins at the Tour of Gila on three occasions, had a rough day, ultimately taking a wrong turn riding behind the race and missing the time cut. Both Ryan Trebon and U-23 rider Kiel Reijnen finished in the top 35, with Kiel staying within striking range (currently in 3rd place) of the best young rider - trailing Garmin Chipotle's Peter Stetina by 1:19 in that competition, respectively. The other three RIDECLEAN members of Jake Rubelt, Brian Forbes and Kyle Colavito, although losing time, are weathering what has been called "America's Toughest Stage Race" well. So the team is down to 5 with a 60 minute Salt Lake City evening criterium in store for tomorrow which will hopefully offer some respite before Saturday's queen stage of climbng galore.
Stay tuned for further updates and thank you for your continued support!
