The conditions tonight were consistent with the weather forecast.  Winds were puffing out off the SSE to possibly SE direction at about 9mph.    While I was sweeping the course I was surprised at how strong it was at the 6-8 mile mark against the TTers.    And then coming back to the start the flags seemed limp.  ruh-roh...  not a good sign.  I had hoped to see a strong tailwind for the first 5 miles that would more than make up for the struggle at NW part of the course.   

The nice weather brought out 9 TTers to pit themselves against themselves.  Ron Nelson smashed the course with an FMT of 24:04 (24.94mph) - only 18 seconds off his PR time.   Susan Andersson garnered the Fastest Woman Time (FWT) by eviscerating the course in a time of 25:26 (23.59mph).   The Fastest Jr was Kaleb Toscano who managed to eclipse his time from last week by 2 seconds even after completing a windy century ride on Saturday.   

Turns out the course played out to be slightly faster than last week - perhaps 10-15 seconds on average.  

Thanks to Wendy for assisting as the backup manual timer.  

Ten days til the start of the TDF !
