Event comments:

This is a super small local TT run by one of the LBS guys. I, and probably most of the folks out there, are using it to gague our improvment over the season. 8 races.. starting in April (i missed the first one) and ending in sept, i think.

Nice race Will! Looks like you are doing just fine, especially considering you've only had your bike for about 6 weeks, right?

Thanks Frank!
Something like that..

I've put about 250 miles on it since I got it..

When I mounted up and clipped in to start.. about 10 seconds before go time.. the starter looked at me and said.. "just remember.... It's all about the pain!".

gee thanks buddy.. about half a mile later up the very first hill.. i realized he was oh-so right..
