Hines Park TT : Official Thread (Page 2)

you might be able to call and still get in... you never know.  The worst they say is no!

start times have been updated as well...

Thanks for the heads up -- That wouldn't have been good to show up 20 minutes late to the starting line now that they moved up all the times.

I suck.  I didn't make it up in time.  I was looking forward to watching my first TT too.

I rode my bike today, the wind was not so kind at times, hopefully it wasn't a problem this morning!

Was a good time out there this morning with some nice weather.  Had to leave fairly soon after I finished -- How did the Eddies and the team folks make out?

Also, it was nice to meet you, Patrick -- Hope to see you at some other races (well, maybe at least until we're in the same age group... haha)

Well, definitely the hardest effort on the bike for me in a while. My first experience at a time trial and I really liked it. I will be looking for more in the future. And I fared pretty well all things considered this season.

The 2-man was rough.  The wind picked up and became more of a cross wind heading out, plus you put yourself in the redzone for 29mins earlier, then recover for 80minutes and do it all over again!  I cursed myself at the turnaround during the 2-man team race, but we finished in 3rd place, averaging over 26mph.  Definite improvement over my 25mph ave for the individual portion.  Patrick, nice meeting you out there, sorry I didnt get a chance to pass you on the bike, maybe next time.

Really enjoyed my first TT - Accomplished both goals I had set myself, break 38mins and not come last. Well, the latter was my wife's goal. Heading out, seemed like a little head wind, so I was looking forward to coming back, but that was even more of a head wind. Boy did my legs burn.
If anyone knows of anymore TT's coming up post on here - Thanks
