VOS Time Trial 2013

This 3 day stage race – biggest one in Arizona – starts with a 14.4 mile Time Trial. I’ve done this race two other times in 2009 and 2011. The M65+ had a good field of ten riders, three of which have consistently finished in the top 5 nationally – Ken Louder from Utah (his son Jeff Louder is a pro), Richard Shields from California and Franz Hammer (32 time national champ) from Arizona. I had a good outing this time, the quick details and the data follow:

2013 VOS TT; 3rd place M65+, 35:48, 24.1mph ave. Outbound 21.3mph, 151 HR, 67 cadence, 20:19; Return 27.8mph, 154 HR, 73 cadence; 15:29; 12 seconds out of second behind Jack Dillon; Ken Louder all alone in first. About 8-9 mph headwind going out. Coming back it was a tailwind, but changed back/forth to a crosswind. Pleased with this effort today … wanted to average >24 mph, and averaged 24.1mph – best I’ve ever done in a TT (except the downhill Sonoita Patagonia). Took 2 minutes off my previous best time in this race back in 2011.
