Adam Gets 3rd in Team Armada Series Opener

Race Fans,

Sunday was Team Armada's Time Trial Series Opener.
I had been looking forward to this race for 2 reasons: 1) it was a short 4.1 mile course, and 2) it's a point to point flat course (no turn-around)
Essentially, this is an all-out "hammerfest" from the get go!
I was so inspired these past two weeks watching the Winter Olympics, especially the ladies downhill skiers.
You could see on their face just how amped and mentally prepared they were to attack the downhill courses - every time I race I just hope to "be in the moment."

The weather for most of the course was absolutely perfect with a nice tailwind, but a mean headwind last mile.
The first 3 miles were just awesome as I was pushing a record pace for me, about 28.5 to just over 30 mph.
By mile 4 came the headwind. So I just switched into an easier gear and attempted to "spin" my way thru and keep the speeds up.

Got 3rd place with an average speed of 27.97 mph (not a PR on this course, but still fast)!

My Time Trial Teammates Val and Shelley (see pic below) also rode wicked fast.
Shelley averaged 25.18 mph and Val averaged 23.57 mph; 1st and 2nd place!

Thanks again for your support,

Adam
