I’ve done a lot of TTs and HCs over the years, but I don’t remember one that was as frigid as today. I’m sure there were some but maybe my rapidly aging body is starting to dislike riding in cold weather. A lot of folks opted for the “warmer” part of today (which was around 4 to 5 pm when the winds were about 20 mph, the temperature was around 35 and the wind chill was not nice), including me. I thought I could take advantage of the north wind but as almost everyone remarked, it was mostly from the west and made the 7 miles south really challenging and the final 2 miles really a struggle.
Only one PR today – congrats to Ben J for a seriously fast time. He brought a newcomer, Cole E, who also had a very good time.
Anyway, glad that one’s in the books!
