Well, we got to the line 45s late (my cyclocomputer clock is off a couple minutes)... still, in the final results, it I don't think it bumped us a place at all. My clock time was 1:08:03, official was 1:08:48. I'm happy with that.
Our goal was 23mph, and we went 23.4, and probably ended up in the top 15 of over 200 teams (a bunch registered this morning I think).
Big surprise, Pat McCarty and Wik won it with 59:38, I believe, which is nearly 27mph. (Official distance is 26.6 from what I've read).
We pace it pretty well. My teammate went out a little hard, I reigned him in a bit. I had a strong 3rd quarter, and he recovered from his 1st quarter, then we both pulled out some whoopass on the finishing straight 5 miles. We were only caught by two teams, and only one of those was in the P/1/2 group.
Fun race
