Andrea Koenig finished the LC at 18:07, a new women's record of 63:07. Catherine Shenk set the previous record of 63:14 in 2008. Koenig was the 4th finisher. When she learned in Byers that she had a shot at the record she time trialed a 5½ hour century, despite temps in the mid-80s.
When John Hughes talked with her she was very excited, "Pleased to be done and wanted to get out of these shorts and shoes." According to Charlie Henderson, her crew, she didn't even look tired. This culminates Andrea's season, which she's taken one step at a time. Looking ahead she wants to do her best at Paris-Brest-Paris next year.
Chapeau!
