Is it bad that I don't want to write up races that go poorly? Well, Menomonee Falls was one of those races. I lost one client for a couple of weeks due to a last lap turn crash =  separated shoulder. Recover well Scott! And then there was my race that was fun, but wasn't the best from a tactical standpoint. That's the point though; a new sport where I'm learning every race. 6th place didn't sound bad once I heard about Scott, and Travis getting held up in the last turn due to another crash in the Cat 3 race. The good news is that Travis came back to finish 5th place the very next day at Great Dane #2 = nice!



The next day (4/18/10) was my invite only 10.1 mile TT. I invite clients and friends to participate in this free event. At the start time of 11:00, the temperature was hovering around 48 degree F with a 10 MPH wind out of the North. And, this course offers up a couple of climbs adding to the cool wind to make for a challenging event. While not the ideal conditions for a fast time trial, it's what we come to expect this time of the year. I had 8 willing participants toeing the line one by one with 1 min between each. It was great to have two volunteers for this race (many thanks to Brittany and Marguerite) to help with pictures and time keeping. I'd also like to thank Bob P. for helping out when he had a mechanical just a few minutes prior to "go" time (maybe he broke a spoke on purpose to miss out on the 28 min's of pain Anyhow, back to the results. The fastest average speed for competing  Eddy Merckx style (without TT bars/bike) was Ben M with a stellar 24.9 MPH ; only .1 MPH below his goal. I had the fastest average speed at 26.3 MPH with the full aero set-up include a wheelbuilder.com wheelcover, and custom built rear wheel. Also to help this year I had my new Team Pedal Moraine skinsuit on, along with the Pedal Moraine supplied ZIPP wheels. Thanks to everyone that helped to make this event a success!
