Usually winds coming off Vancouver Lake are a tailwind on the way out, and a headwind on the way back. They usually send recumbents out first, so early in the morning we have very light winds. They usually pick up later (noonish) and affect the upright bikes more than ours. Other TT's I have run, I usually finish last for the adults, beating only the juniors, but each time has been faster than the time before. Being 35lbs lighter this year, and healthier (after my hysterectomy a year ago) and on a lighter bike, I should have some real improvement this year. I never race against anyone else's time, just my own.

I am going to see if the pictures from previous years are posted anywhere; if they are, I'll post a link.
