Comments:

Started out a little fast and then fell into a rhythm. The wind was pretty tough and I would consistently lose 2-3mph in turn 4 and coming up the front-stretch.
What would you do differently?:

Get more aero. Will install and practice with my new aerobars before the next race.
Post race
Warm down:

Riding around lookng for Jeff.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Wind, aerodynamics (or lack thereof) and experience.

Event comments:

Since this was my first time trial, I was please with my performance. I would like to think I could get down closer to 26:00 by the summer's end.
