the Record books that is. finishing the 156 miles in 5:45 is about 6 minutes faster then the previous quick time. and 30 minutes faster then last year. the early break never got away, well it did but pate, werry, and hendy were in it so it never really had a chance. any way to give you and idea of the day we had i have a few different data points from around the group.

Scott Nydam- BMC

Avg power- 282 watts

normalized power (no counting the coasting) 324watts

ride time 5:50

5750 kj’s

danny pate- Normalized power- 285 watt

Taylor tolleson- Avg Power (including coasting) 320 watts (winner of the most watts contest i think)

Ian MacGreagor- 140ish lbs 4700 kj’s

the race never got crazy hard just that annoying pace all day. a lot of reports of guys just wanting a 5 minute break to pee- but no such luck.
