DAMN THAT SHIT HURT...

the last think I was told before I rode my first TT was.. "It's all about the pain."

Nuff said.

I didn't feel particularly great but I guess I did ok. The hills seemed bigger and more frequent that last time too.. I"d get over the top of a hill and expect to fly down the other side but never did get up lots of speed on the other side of the hills.
What would you do differently?:

Clean and lube my drivetrain before the race and wear a tight fittin shirt so i'm not flapping in the wind.

I've got lots of hard hill work to do..

oh.. and I could stand to loose 30 more lbs

Post race
Warm down:

Went and got my water bottles and rode about half a mile trying to spin as much as I could.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

my fat arse ;)

Event comments:

This is such a great way to judge your improvments.. and apparently i've gotten 45 seconds better since two months ago.. I'll take it!!

I highly recommend finding a local Time Trial series and racing them as often as you can. It hurts like hell but it's a ton of fun!!
