Moore wins opening stage time trial by one second
Rinehart starts women's race with win
The time trial course had been mowed multiple times during the summer with the grass clippings blown to the side so there was no loose grass. On the final mowing two days before the event, the deck on the mower on the final mowing was set at 2 1/4" which is pretty much the lowest setting you can go without hitting any high spots etc.
With the morning dew burning off nicely, ideal conditions were presented for the time trial and fast times were expected for sure. A US$50 bonus in addition to the cash prizes for the top five elite class, was offered to any male rider who could break Doug Swanson's course record and any female rider that could crack the time set by Jenna Rinehart last year.
Elite riders were sent off first. Posting the early fast time was Doug Swanson at 9:39:87, who bested his time by two seconds from last year. Rolling across shortly after was TJ Woodruff who put himself in the hot seat at 9:37:15, but his stay was short-lived as Brendan Moore bested Woodruff's time by barely a second at 9:36:19.
Moore had stuck with a low profile tire which he felt rolled as fast as any tires in his arsenal and had no issue on the two grassy corners. During comments in the post race interview, Woodruff exclaimed, "If I would of gone one pedal stroke harder...". Rounding out the top five were Iowa fast guy Cam Kirkpatrick just over 10 minutes and Eric Oftedahl at 10:06:39.
In women's elite time trial, Jenna Rinehart bested her time by 18 seconds from last year to set a new course record and go home with an extra $50. Rounding out the top five were Kyia Anderson, Jennifer Fisher, Meghan Korol and Corey Coogan.
