Charity TT - A beautiful day at Black Dog

RESULTS POSTED

It was a beautiful day for a TT Sunday. A far cry from the blustery cold on Saturday. Registration was very smooth compared to past years, and the porta potties were a HUGE welcomed addition. The starting line was moved back to the parking lot to avoid road congestion.

As expected, Stanford ruled the day in 13:54. Casper 2nd in 14:24, and Timmer 3rd in 14:34. Zim (14:40) and Brabbit (14:42) were the only other riders to break 15 min.

I started 30 secs in front of Jordan again. I had a much better ride than 1.5 weeks ago and clocked a 15:04. Jordan felt the effects of the previous days 40K, and rode a 15:18. Who's your daddy now? Accounting for the added distance from moving the start up, you can deduct around 5 seconds. So I would have went sub-15. The legs are coming around.

Jordan and I both won our divisions. Jordan won the Cat 4's by a mere second. I eeked out the win in Masters 35+ with 3 of us posting a 15:04. They went to the tape, which shows 100th's of a second, and I had the edge. Mlinar 2nd (Dang he's fast this year), unknown 3rd.

Jordan is learning that the Dog can be fickle, and at the speeds he's running, results are not always as one might expect. He's got to work for every second and MPH now.
