I spent some time on the Greenie watching the USA Cycling TT Nationals. This was probably not the best idea with a mile race in the evening.

Hal Canfield Mile

Relative effort 13. 6:16.4. This is my 3rd fastest mile ever, but I can't claim anything but an over 60 PR. I took advantage of the down hill start to run a fast first quarter (~1:23), each subsquent quarter was a bit slower (~1:35.5, 1:38.0, 1:40.0). Per usual, KTC and Personal Best Racing messed up my finishing time. Initially my chip time was listed as 44:12.4. It was eventually corrected but moving forward I do not think I will be racing when Personal Best Racing is doing the timing. I don't want to be the guy who complains about results.

Niggles: The mile race is an ass kicker. No niggles.
