10k State Time Trial in Alliance Ohio

The course in Alliance was a rectangle with the first leg headed west slightly uphill and into the wind (10-15 mph steady), then we turned north with the wind at our side as we had a downhill and some rollers, then a right turn heading east with the wind behind us, a right turn heading south with more rollers and a cross wind and then right with just a kilometer or so to the finish. My time was 13:02 for the 6.2 miles of 28.6 mph avg. That was good enough for first place in the 50-54 and overall. My goal was to be well above 28 mph. Today we have the short 5k time trial.
