I feel a little foolish posting times in the presence of Iron women and women placing in tri's. but I am going to anyway

the bike club had a little 10 mile time trial last night. They are going to repeat it each month.
I am far from a fast rider as my focus is touring, not racing but I thought what the heck let's go out and see what I can do and it will give me a little notion on what I could do for the bike portion for the tri next week.

We only had a 10 mph headwind out and it was sweet coming back

all told I did it in 34 min and averaged 17.28 mph - for me that was really good and I was pleased.

I really worked on shifting and keeping my cadence up over 90 rpms, I never do that on regular rides but for some reason my legs just went faster last night - and that was after having a stomach bug all day

BTW I ended up ordering a 2xu wetsuit just couldn't find a rental place that would work out
