Hello All,
First I want
to say how impressed I was with those who raced Boggs this weekend. I was only there for a couple hours but it
was great to see team mates not only racing for the team but as a team and
motivating each other...
Today I went
down to the Calaveras Road Time Trial. I
don't race many paid and timed TTs but I thought it would be fun and help some
with the bike legs of Triathlons. There
was a 14 mph side wind both out and back which did make steering control
interesting at times. I finished the 10
mile race in 26.47 minutes or at an average speed of 22.73 mph. This race is full of rolling hills kind of
like some of the rollers on Pleasants Valley road with a hill that starts at
about the 4 mile mark which last until the turnaround at 5 miles and is about
the grade of Steiger. I felt that I pushed
about as hard as I could have but since I never rode this course before it’s
hard to say. You would like this event
if you like to ride all out for 10 miles and enjoy the pain. Hey, I only finished about 5 minutes behind
Kevin Metcalfe, the multi-time national Time Trial champion who is in my age
group. LOL
No selfies
Sorry.
