The race was tough and the longest TT race of the year plus a headwind of 5-8 mph! I didn't like the the timing of the race there were many racers complaining about their times. One racer in my division did not get a recorded time but was given a time partly based on what he said his time was he didn't have a mid race turn around stop and start time. He claimed he did a specific time and they added 2 minutes to the time and it was still good enough to win! Every bike had chip sensors to record our times as we passed over the chip detector strips on the road. My issue is there were no split times and delay times available. I had one more issue but will keep that to myself. I raced as hard as I could and thought I maintained my targeted watts (255+) and speed (25 mph). The final average watts was much lower than what I was shooting for and the speed was just a tad below (24.55 mph) my target. During the race everytime I noticed my dropping in speed or watts, I was able to push it back up and beyond. Finally, was able to keep my cadence high over 90 rpm for the race! Even though I didn't place as high as I would have liked, However, I am very happy with my performance. I felt I was able to race both sections of the race equally as hard and not slowed if anything I was able to increase my output. I will evaluate my stats later. I am improving on each race and definitely improving my fitness. This great adventure was worth every second of pain! Looking forward to the next great adventure. Be safe out there and enjoy your ride...
