RoadRaven - how did your TT go on Saturday?

Alright I guess... I did win my grade (G), and would have come 11th in the next grade up, and second to last in the grade above that.

There were 17 women out of the 98 riders, I came 7th out of the women - but don't know where I would have come if it was age graded rather than ability as I don't know the ages of all the girls/women.

It was a nasty nasty day with a dreadful cross and head wind that swirled around the hillsides so despite the relatively flat course I didn't even average 30kph. Coming down the only hill I was pedalling flat out in my biggest gear and couldn't get over 40! It really sucked.

My only consolation re my time is that everyones times were slow. My eldest son and my partner would usually expect to have a 40+ average... they were both 39.something...

But did I enjoy it as a race - oh yes... I loved it. I loved it loved it loved it!

I am so obsessed and addicted its crazy!

Thanks for asking - sorry its taken a week to get back to this thread!
