State Time Trial Championship

Thanks to everyone that helped to make the State TT a great success. Pete did a terrific job as promoter, which is a tough (and often thankless) job. The weather broke out perfectly, with no rain lightening or hail. Well, except for the continuous SE cross wind, but you can't have everything. A big shout out to the Creighton student crew recruited by Kirk Peck to help out with monitoring the course and doing all sorts of important small things that makes the race run smoothly.

The team had some nice results as well: Jackie Weires (Women's 40+), Mike Melton (Men's cat 3 50+), DaVonte Vinson (Juniors 10-14), and myself (Men's cat 4 50+) all received State Championship gold medals in our respective classes. The course was difficult with the SE crosswind: riders fought a headwind all of the way out, and did not really receive the full benefit of the tailwind on the way back. The rollers over the final 5 miles really put everyone in the pain cave to finish up the race.
