4th out of 4...That doesn't sound so good, and I didn't win any really cool prizes, but actually, I'm pretty happy with my results. Somehow, I managed to shave a whopping 5 minutes and 20 seconds off my results from last month. Whoo-hoo!!!
Now, I myself, have been wondering how I managed to do that. So, I've been thinking about it, and have concluded that it could be any (or all) of the following reasons:
Reason #1. I just felt better today. Last month, I felt like I was going to puke for about half of the race. This time, I didn't have that problem.
Reason #2. Not (AS MUCH!) headwind. Last month, there was a terrible headwind going out, but this time it was not nearly as bad. GofastPops thinks the wind was "non-existent", but apparently his definition of non-existent and mine are somewhat different. I would say, the wind started out light, but seemed to be "picking up" all the way out. By the time I got to the turn-around, I'd say it was blowing pretty good!
Reason #3. Aerobars. Whoo-hoo these rock!!!
But, I think it the real reason for my success today was definitely...
the Dairy Queen (chocolate dipped) Ice Cream Cone I scarfed down last night after walking the dogs. uh... I was "carbo-loading"... yeah, that's it... !!!
Powered by "DQ"... I think I like that!

Ya know, my favorite pre-ride energy food is Moon Pies. Chocolate, non of that banana - orange - vanilla crap. gotta stick to the classics.
Do they have Moon Pies in Ohio-land?
Sounds to me like you are kicking butt up there in Ohio. Just tell people that you came in 4th place. Don't tell people how many were in the race.
