Results from time trial #4

So I admit, I was worried.  Worried that my attendance would be low due to the approaching thunder storm. Worried that the rain would stop, then start back up at 6:30 as predicted.  Worried that I would have to cancel and reschedule, which any race director will tell you involves much more than picking a new date.
None of that happened. 
This is what did:
Attendance was about average.  The sunny sun came out so humidity went way up.  The wind stopped and the heat index was just what we expect for July.  So the show went on.  Chris and I were excited to find a last minute volunteer for the turnaround (Thanks Gary Henry!!!) so that we could race.  But then, as I was kitting up, I noticed that bike shoes were missing. 

Here are the times for those who got the opportunity to sweat.

Weather...weather!

For now, the race is still on since its Iowa and as the saying goes; if you don't like the weather wait 5 minutes.
It is 7 hours from race time.  I hope the front will move on by then.  I will keep a watchful eye out.  As of now, the weather report looks like 40% chance of t-storms at 7:00pm
Rain can be ok, especially when it's hot out.  The corners will be slick however.  Thunder and lightning Worry me.  If I can work out a rain date for this race I will.  I realize my flyer says rain or shine, it does not qualify what type of rain.  That is why radar is color coded.  ;)  
So stay posted and I will make up my mind 100% by 3:00 pm.
Thanks everyone for patience and understanding.
