Pre-race routine:

hung out with Alice & Jeff...lone representatives of the BT crew

Event warmup:

3 laps around the speedway.

Bike

26m 20s
10 miles
22.78 mile/hr

Comments:

Should have tried to snag a few drinks of the water bottle. The wind was kicking pretty hard thru the front stretch. Was really struggling to maintain 22-23 mph thru that area. I can normally push high 20's here. I didn't really have an extra kick left for the last lap. I just didn't have an energy reserve to tap into.

What would you do differently?:

Not run 21 miles in the 4 days prior to the time trial. My legs were definitely not 100%

Post race

Warm down:

No time. Had to throw bike on the truck and jet to the kids' soccer game

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Me--kind of disappointed in today's ride. Got a whole season to improve though

Event comments:

Always enjoy these races. Disappointed in my own performance. Glad Alice & Jeff had a good time.

**EDIT--I've had another hr to reflect on tonight. Although I'd like to have gone faster, I should be pretty happy with my performance. I started 11th and passed everyone in front of me. I was only passed twice, one of these times by someone I'd already passed. I passed so many people that I lost count by Lap 2 of 7. Given that the wind was stronger tonight, I really did do pretty well. This was a new PR by 0:40!
