Quick update to let everyone know that Tria Market now has two of the Alabama state time trial champions. I believe that our state director is awarding them based on 5 year age increments, but even if he uses 10 year increments or category based medals, then Wes Douglas and I (Brian Toone) have both won the gold medal in our respective categories/divisions. Wes scorched the course with a time of 57’50” easily winning the Cat 3 championship and having the 2nd fastest overall time for the day. I was next with a time 59’05”, but since I was the only Cat 1 in the race that was still good enough to earn me the Cat 1 gold medal. Lennie Moon was just 3 seconds behind me for fourth. Darryl Seelhorst was riding really well (on pace for sub 57?) until bad luck hit him with a flat rear tire only 4 miles from the end. Kevin White got 2nd place in the Masters division rolling one of the top times of the day as well. Philip Thompson (Eddy Merckx style with no aero equipment) and Faris Malki both had good rides, too.
