Results and notes for the first time trial of the 2014 season

Thanks to the 25 racers that tried out the new, slightly tweaked course.  In my previous blog, I spoke of the new change forthcoming.  I am happy to get good feedback from that.  I am resistant to change, but in this particular case, I believe it actually improved our race experience.  For one, we have a nice one mile stretch to warm-up on, which was the start/finish prior.  How many of you felt that last mile of the old layout was really more like five; especially with a headwind on the return trip!  Also I like the rolling terrain and trees on the last mile before the turnaround. But most importantly, we will not be running a stop sign on the way out anymore.

Everyone did great, considering the evening was more like April than May.  55 degrees with some head and good crosswinds made us all dig a little deep!
