Indoor Time Trial Won :)

Congrats! Sounds like you pulled off a good win. I think I would LOVE something like this... We have roller races, but I SUCK at rollers.

Good Job Sioux! what's with the 3rd person tense?
I really enjoyed your recounting of it. You held your speed down and because of that you beat that guy!!!
congrats!

Thanks Welp, it's because it's sort of cross-posted. On certain threads with certain people on bikejournal we do the third-person thing just for silliness (something like the royal "we.") I was going to just cut and paste but realized there were some things that only made sense in the context of that post (which I started asking about computrainers and how to do better on the next time trial 'cause I wanted to improve over that first one, which I did ).

My tendency is to hold back **too** much; what made the difference was informing myself that at 22 I still *was* holding back, and therefore I could so speed up later, even if I *was* breathin' hard and everything.

I'm going **nuts** because I need a good long ride now... only sprinting on icy roads would be, um, STUPID so I'm making do with those clear stretches and remembering that last month I had four days of no riding at all because of travel and did okay.

So... I was talkin' to my LBS guy tonight* and I told him "Oh, I won on Sunday!" and he says "I'm not surprised," and I said "And I beat Jay, too, and somebody told me his ego was a little bruised, " [you wouldn't have known it] and he said he knew it was 'cause he was there when Jay signed up, 'cause he'd told Jay that I'd beaten him by two seconds last time and he had a little trouble with that ... welp, ladies, I'm just gonna have to work **hard** this month, I s'pose, 'cause I think the man will come back loaded for bear
Here's to using our competitive natures to get stronger and fitter

I responded to this at BJ I think?

But one can never be congratulated enough on a race well-ridden

So congrats again, Geonz!!!

You rock!
