Sunny, dry, and calm conditions led to a lot of broken records at the 2008 Firehouse 50. Timmer Mulrooney broke his 2005 Individual TT record of 1:53:02 by an astounding 1.5mins, posting an amazing 1:51:26. That is an average speed of almost 27mph! Lance Niles also impressively broke the old record, finished 2nd in 1:52:38. Dan Casper overcame a sinus infection to finish a fast 3rd, in a personal best 1:53:29.
After annihilating the 2-person Team TT record in 2007, Gear West triathletes David Thompson and Kevin O'Connor joined forces with Curt Wood and Brian Bich to break the 4-person Team TT record. They averaged almost 28mph, breaking the record by over 1.5mins, posting a 1:46:46. The old record of 1:48:26, also set in 2005, was held by the Spring Street Sports team of Gordy Paulson, Chris Halverson, Nick Robertson, and Joe Wawrzaszek.
Finally, Linda Sone and I broke the Mixed Tandem TT record by almost 4 minutes, posting a 1:56:13. We were hoping for some stiff competition from Tandem National Champions Gordy Paulson and Diane Ostenso, but they opted for the Mixed 2-person TT, in preparation for Masters World Championships coming up in a couple weeks in Austria. Good luck!

Who was the stoker?
That would be Linda. You'd be hard pressed to find a tandem that would fit me as a stoker. Besides, everyone knows I'm a control freak.
