I ended up third with a 21/22 MPH average in the 65+ age group. I really did enjoy the time trial and the training I did but there's just not many of these events.

One hang up I do have is in running if you want to beat the guy in your age group who beat you by 3 seconds last week, you just have to train harder or smarter. In biking, it seems that you have those 2 options, PLUS one more, buy a better bike. Where does the ARMS race end. :-)




Thanks again,
John
