IMFL, Panama City Beach considered fast because of minimal elevation change but we had 15/20 mph winds that day. As I mentioned elsewhere, Andrew Starykowicz completed the 112 miles in 4:02:17. Expecting to knock 30+ minutes off in this year's IMFL bike unless I am one of the 100 lucky Kona World Championship lottery entry winners.

My actual bike moving time was 5:43:26 for 19.4mph average and unlike many others, I did not draft.
