MN State TT Results

As expected, Ian Stanford took his 3rd consecutive MN State TT Title. Lance Niles was runner up, with newcomer Jonathan Toftoy beating Dan Casper by just 4 seconds to make the podium. Toftoy is a tri-guy from the Chicago area, who recently moved to the twin cities, and is bursting onto the TT scene. Word is he's attending Chiropractic school, following the footsteps of another local fastie.

Both Jordan and I had a great day. The rain dumped on St. Peter at about 7:45AM, but then it cleared up, and the roads were just wet by the start. The winds were very favorable. Light head-cross wind on the way out. Fast cross-tail wind on the way back. Fast times for most people.

Jordan broke the 30min barrier in the 20K, posting a 29:49 to win the Juniors U15. I rode my fastest true 40K ever, posting a 54:30. It was over a minute faster than last week (extrapolating last week to a full 40K). My time was the 11th fastest of the day, and 2nd in the Masters 40-44. Both Jordan and I were very happy with our performances.

Distance: 24.81mi (~40K)
