2007 TNT Overall Results

Jordan and I managed to both ride our personal best times at the final TNT. I rode a 23:50, a 9 second beat of my previous best, and 55 seconds faster than 2 weeks previous. Jordan rode a 30:14, a 1:09 beat of his previous best, and 2:10 faster than 2 weeks previous. Definitely a productive night, and the best way to finish the series.

Painman even made an appearance, but not to race. He rode out from his place to meet Holly and Connor, and watch Holly race. It sounded like she was happy with her ride, and the boys were very proud of her. Connor was a hoot. When Linda wasn't whisking him away to play with the dogs, he was running around asking to get in every one's car. And what a jabberjaw. He's about as shy as Painman.

The conditions were mostly calm with almost no wind. Timmer and some of the other usual suspects were at the alternative Ride and Glide Withrow TT on the east side. Congrats to Timmer on smashing my old Withrow TT course record of 29:25 by an impressive 52 seconds, pushing the new record to 28:33.

Afterwards, we hung out at the parking lot for a while before heading to Umbria for Calzones with Dan, Doug, Linda, and Waataja. Doug entertained us with all his ideas for inventions which, unfortunately for him, have already been invented. He was wound up, and couldn't stop talking. I was getting exhausted just from listening and laughing at his anecdotes. Casper set Jordan up with a Grandstay stocking cap. Many thanks Dan.
