Nice work Ray! I know I congratulated you on the Sub7 group, but now reading this helps me understand your progression better. That is an outstanding milestone!

Thanks Mike! I'm still a bit in shock. The last 3 minutes were 3 of the most awful minutes I've experienced. Of course, I seem to say that at the end of every time trial.

Outstanding work. There's some serious effort in the last few minutes to get over the 15k.
Now, if I can only do the same with 14k!
