6:00 PM - Warming up for the 8 mile TT and thinking of one word: REDEMPTION. I DNF'd the RR in the morning on a mechanical.
6:09 - Staging - Durward Higgins is starting 30 seconds in front of me in his National Championship Skin Suit. Sure he won the 65-69 AG in Louisville but the National Champion is the National Champion and this dude is a legend. Here's my chance.
6:11:30 - Durward is off. "I am coming for you, Durward."
6:12 - I am off and hammer is down!
6:13 -Headed up some rolling hills: "Oh my Gosh! I am taking him....I am closing."
6:22 appr - At the turn around. "He is only 10 secs ahead...my advantage is 20 seconds!"
6:23 - "You got him, u gotta go hard cause Ralph(Smook) was close at the turn."
6:27:52 - "He(Durward) is gaining- get a bigger gear...drive it drive it drive."
6:31: 36 - At the finish line - "I think I got him, maybe I got?"
6:34 - "What about Ralph and the others?"
7:14 - I am in anguish. The results come up from the course:
Randall Maddox - 1st - 19:36
Durward Higgins - 2nd - 19:48
Ralph Smook - 3rd - 20:11
REDEMPTION is sweet!

Nice going Randall. That has to feel soooo good.
