Me, again!
Week 3 of time trial racing was FUN! We had lots of rain the night before and early in the day, but the weather was clear and almost warmish for the race. I remembered one area to lay on the pedals hard where I had kind of coasted before, and I was closer to DH when he got to the turnaround, but I had trouble at the start after back pedaling I sort of couldn't get going, so I lost some advantage there. Also, for some reason, because I had another girl ahead of me that I was gaining on as I pushed hard at the finish, I just couldn't bring myself to downshift to bring my cadence up a bit. We were probably a second apart and she started 1:30 ahead of me. All in all, it was great! I wasn't Last this time! I improved my previous best time by 1 minute 7 seconds! I called on my TE ladies and the butterflies on the way and that always helps me keep my heart in it.
Oh, and I think my heartrate is recovering better after big efforts than earlier this year.
Too much fun!!
Next week is a hill climb. I think they'll all be waiting for me at the top for a very long time!! heehee
Hugs and butterflies,
