Comments: I guess I beat 2 people, but one of them was a guy on a recumbent who flatted. So 1 guy. There was one other woman, she beat me by 2:13. The winner beat me by 10 minutes. In my defense, they all outspent me by at least 2 grand. I haven't seen such a pack of trick bikes since I watched the Tour time trials last year. Man. What would you do differently?: Other than cough up for a super flash TT bike? I did let my mind wander at one point and slowed down, but mostly I was working really hard. I'm happy about the time - it's a PB for me, even if it's not much in the context! Post race
Warm down: Pedaled around a little, stretched a teeny bit, drank water, ate some kind of bar, drove home. Felt weird not to have to run after the ride. What limited your ability to perform faster: I was pretty clearly outclassed in equipment. Certainly I could improve my engine, and that's the place to start, but I'm in good shape and gave it my all. The woman who beat me was quite a bit heavier. I'm thinking I might be able to take her on the hilly TT next week. Event comments: This was just a little local TT, only 18 participants, not a big formal race. I was doing it because racing a TT is one of my goals, and now I can cross it off! I think I'll be back - it was a lot of fun. Still have no idea how I managed not to come in DFL, but I really want to beat that woman with the fancy Litespeed and the aero wheels on my "vintage" QR. Maybe when I do I'll buy the fancy bike. ;) Last updated: 2005-06-29 12:00 AM
