Results for Time Trial #4 in the series is here!

What a beautiful day in the neighborhood!  After all the extreme heat of the past few weeks, we were truly blessed with ideal conditions for time trialing.  The breeze picked up slightly toward evening, but just enough to add some challenge and evaporate sweat. ;-)  Once again, we had 22 participating, including three tandems!  The times were a bit faster than previous dates by about 30 seconds by my estimation and, from the first in the series, (in April) by close to 1 to 2 minutes! Many racers had a personal record set last night. Congrats to all of you!  Since the State Championship is just around the bend,  my guess is that many are reaching their peak for the season.  The fastest time so far this series goes to Paul Deninger from yesterday's  race with a fabulous time of 22:47.29.  Prior to that Joe Nichols held it with a dangerously close time of 22:47.46. ( tt #2 in May).  We are talking splits here folks.  Then comes Mark Sorenson, a nemesis for many,  (I say that with a smile on my face) who is seconds behind these 2012 records with the times of: 22:50.52 (#3 tt), 22:52.34 (#2 tt) and 22:54.83 (#4 tt).     
Our next time trial #5 (Aug.14) will be after the State Time Trial Championships held in Nichols IA. on August 5th.  So the season is not over yet folks!
