Got a few time changes, a name change and a missed submission to add.
Yes, the wind was a cruel mistress/master today. You would think that we would have had an awesome tailwind for half of the TT today but that wasn’t my experience. It started out from the south, then was from the southeast and then the west. Lots of comments about it from you folks.
But first, Nick HF. Who are you?? Why don’t you have a pro contract yet? Nice job!
Second, a few points of order. Please try to time yourself with an actual timer and only use Strava as a backup if your timer fails. The time differences were pretty close to the 3 second Strava addition today, but this becomes more divergent on hill climbs.
Third, if you’re new to these, please check the start and finish lines as I got a report of someone stopping their timing before the actual finish line. Check out:

In order for full disclosure, I did the TT backwards today. No, I sat facing forward on my bike but since I live in Sunderland, I started near the north end of the course (but did the Sugarloaf St Extension triangle about 100 yards into the TT) and rode south, turned around at the green I-91 sign and finished where I started. Same distance as everyone, I just didn’t want to have to ride the full TT twice. Obviously, this will not be allowed for the Short TT or any of the hill climbs. Does anyone object to this? Let me know.
