Gary Painter did a perfect job of negative split pacing on a windy day to repeat as the Indiana State TT champion.  Gary played it smart and used a predetermined power target to hold back on the tailwind outbound leg and put the  hammer down after the turnaround into the stiff headwind.  On the way out, he averaged 31 mph and on the inbound leg he was only 26.5 mph, but he had enough left to finish with the best 10 min power of the whole race coming to the line.  This was also the best average power for a long TT this year and bodes well for the upcoming master's national championships.
