Comments: Pretty demoralizing to average 24.5mph and have the guy who started a minute behind you pass before the turnaround. Equally demoralizing to see your average drop from 24.5 to 24.2 in the 20 feet it takes you to turn around. Still, not a bad ride. There was some wind out there but it was hard to tell where it was coming from, guess it was predominantly a crosswind. Averaged 24.2 through the turnaround, then 24.8 the rest of the way. What would you do differently?: Nothing. It's still early in the season, I'm still carrying Christmas baggage, but lost only 20 seconds from last July, when I was in peak condition. My goal is to average 25 on one of these later this year. ![]() Post race
Warm down: Rode about two miles, made sure I wasn't going to spew, then waited for results. What limited your ability to perform faster: Little hill, crosswind, fat behind. Only two that beat me were a 25-yo Cat 2 racer (26.6mph avg.) and a 15-yo who has real potential to be Cat 1 or better (25.75mph avg.). Add their ages together and you still come up ten years short of where I am. Event comments: Low-key, informal monthly event put on by the LBS. Fun, good way to test yourself.
