The first installment of the Gainesville TT Challenge came with more
than it's fair share of wind, giving each of the challengers something
to work against. However, they persevered and pushed on, and suffered,
and felt pain, and pushed harder still. At the end of the day, the
series leaders for 2012 were crowned and each given a commemorative
water bottle courtesy of the Gainesville Cycling Club.
Now, the results:
In the Merckx Category...
1. Andrea Tosolini, 22:33 (Dustin got your water bottle, stick around a
little longer next time!)
2. Dustin White, 23:06
3. Mike Something or another, but he looked like Rob Robins, 23:24
4. Justin Runce (sp?), 23:41
5. Todd Leedy, 23:55
6. Shannon Woodruff, 24:53
7. David Bello, 26:53
8. George Rojas, 27:52
Honorable Mention: Greg Farrone, who put out so much torque he broke his
rear hub almost immediately after he launched from the starting line
(better luck next time).
In the Aero Competitor Category...
1. Derek Schanze, 20:26
2. Tom Cox, 21:32
3. Kevin Grogan, 23:14 (atta boy Kevin!)
4. Graham Partain, 23:42 (w00t!)
5. Terry Marquand (sp?), 24:53 (great job for your first TT!)
And this month we had a taker in the "Anything Goes" category. Looking
"Just Fabulous" with his fixed gear, yellow chain driven Quintana Roo
complete with tassles and Tri-Bottle, Mark Kiester ran away from the
competition with a time of 25:26.
Additionally, Adrian Tyndall competed but chose the fourth option.
We will see you guys on April 7th for the next one!
