This past Wednesday, nine riders from the area competed in the U.S. Master's Nationals Time Trial Championships held in Louisville, Kentucky. The course was a 26 kilometer killer which saw riders climbing right out the start house and throughout the course. Wayne Simon (Verdigris) of Lake Barrington posted the fastest time of all Chicagolanders with a time of 31:46. This was good enough to place Wayne third on the podium in the 50-54 age division. Tom Doughty (Amgen Giant Masters) a former Olympian residing in Aurora took silver in the 55-59 age division with a time of a 31:58. Debbie Dust (PACT) of Chicago scorched the course in 35:22 for silver in the women's 35-39 division.
Other notables were Leaha Thompson (Vision Quest) 4th (W40-45); Mark Schwatzendrubber (Verizon) 8th (M 45-49); Robert Brokaw (Team Mack) 17th (45-49); Stathy Touloumis (Albertos) 26th (35-39); Reed Oliff (WDT/Allvoi) 29th (45-49); and Brian Akers (WDT/Allvoi) 33rd (40-44). Congratulations to all athletes who participated in this week's events. You showed the rest of the country just how awesome Chicago bicycle racing truly is!!
