Thanks V



Just to confirm as official times have just been posted: my time was 28.07 for the 15km course. Thats an average of 32.01kph. I'm well pleased.

Karo's time was 29.42; an average of 30.30kph. She will not be happy.

And my partner's time was even better than he/we thought. He has had a tummy bug, but still came in with the 2nd fastest time of 20.58minutes - only 6 seconds behind the winning time. My partner's average of 42.93kph is something I will never do but I am so thrilled for him.

Nice job, RR! That is a flying fast time. And good for you for pushing yourself that little bit extra.

Now, you just need to get rid of that self-doubt. If you pass him, and he passes you back, that is ok. Just go out and ride YOUR race.

Congrats.

Thanks Shefly

I just love this type of race SOOO much
I know the self-doubt is not helpful, and maybe it even cost me a second or two. But I am getting bettter and better at staying focused for the entire distance.
But its improving my road/bunch racing too... a few weeks back I actually got a placing in my grade - I came in ahead of others and got points for it. I was well chuffed.
I'd enjoy racing on some of the smoother roads overseas - our roads are virtually all coarse chip seal, will makes them that much slower. (We have had quite a few UK cyclists ride with our club when they have been passing through on holidays - and they always think they will go faster than they do - and its the road surface that slows them down.

Last TT of this summer series is on Valentines Day ... must be 'cause I lurve TTs
