JMSR stage 3
uphill time trial. my favorite! we finished the morning race at 1130 or so and ate and rested until leaving at 400 for our 600 time trial.
not much to report. for most of us, the goal was not to get time cut. andrew needed to put in his best effort. warming up on the cyclops trainers that were provided was simply a test in brutality. we were tired and sitting on a trainer was the last thing we wanted to do. but it was the only real option as the time trial start was at the bottom of a steep hill on one side and the time trial on the other. damn.
i moderated my efforts well to be able to ride a consistent pace though the whole tt and put in a decent effort. probably not my best possible time but i avoided my normal mistake of going too hard early and paying double for it later. at 9:55, i beat my time of last year by 15 seconds. not bad. fischer came in 15 seconds ahead of me, putting him in 44th place, and 1:21 off the leader. i'm in 89th at 10:21.
