Comments: I did the Squiggy Time Trial in Tampa this morning. Drove down last night in an amazing storm. 30 mph in torrential rains on I-75, jackasses with hazards on in the fast lane, trees blown over, yada yada.
After last night's storm, the weather this morning was actually fairly decent. Clear skies, but with some of the strongest winds and gusts I've ever ridden in, anywhere. I felt pretty good for a guy finishing off the flu. Just two days before I was home sick and propped up in a recliner.
I warmed up for about 8 miles on the road before my start time. Wind gusts were probably 30-40 mph; I was having serious difficulty staying on the road in crosswind sections.
I started just a hair too hard, probably; 3 or 4 minutes of a cross-tailwind section before turning into the headwind. I was getting blown sideways 2 feet by gusts and going 20 mph. Caught sight of my minute man about halfway in, and shortly after that, we both passed my two minute man. About this time, we made the tailwind
