ladies, anyone participate in time trials?

Just ladies? What are you, sexist? Or are you looking specific for cycling panties experience?

KathyG has done a bunch of 'em. If you posted this in TT she would respond.

But she likes the comfort of COJ Bear!!  Why try to get her out of here to get more appropriate responses??  It is hard to break someone out of (bad) habits .....

Yes lots.

I like to chase rather than be chased.

The TT I did the best at I started with people in my category. Othertimes, it was just sign up for a time, or first come first to go, or random or something. When I have cat 1/2 men behind me and in front of me, it isn't very motivating.

hey cool... what are your time trials like?, a route?, or laps.

this is a 40K route... out and back.  I am getting aero bars this week which will help.  any other advice you can give me.  maybe i should post this in TT

ha ha... don't you know my plan for 2008 is to go commando!

Pictures, or it didn't happen!

Not a lady (unless you count how the TT's make me cry like a little girl)...

I've done so many I can't even count them. TT stages in stage races, weekly 10-mile TT, season opener, late-season re-test... Got a few USCF district medals (both 40K and uphill TT's). It's a matter of pain management. Treading that line between not quite hard enough, and almost blowing up.

Whadda ya wanna know?

My first TT is 2 days away. I cant wait! Oh.. and I am not a lady

Most of the TTs I've done are an out and back, both flat and hilly. There is also a biweekly 10k TT and that one is a loop. It's fun to do because you can try to improve your time each week.

I've done 'em with aero bars and without riding in the drops. Definitely a better time with the aero bars. I've also used by friends TT helmet once and that really helped. Not only was it more aero, but I think the point helped me hold me head in the right position and not look down too much.

Have fun.

pigfinn - 2008-04-16 2:28 PM I think I am going to do my first one in May  I know, this should be in TriathlonTalk, but I like it better here

Are you doing it to avoid me since I rarely come into COJ? .

whao!!!... you've come down to the dungeon, welcome  I only avoided TT because I would get a boat load of responses that I could not interpret... you know, I'm just a weenie one time sprint tri girl.  Not to mention I'm used to the peeps on COJ... I know I can get some real training answers out of them if I really try.

You should come down more often... I know it's dark, but if you turn the lights on, it's cool as to what you'll see

All I see is biking on your list and people know how I feel about biking. ok ok I will have bike alot. I thought about trying out a TT myself once I figure out this tri bike thing.

I bike and I run, but I do not swim... at least not recently.
