salt air tt

well after 2 days of hard racing i convinced myself to go do the tt.......in all reality i just want to start collecting points as to place in the top 15 overall for the points series so i can move up to race with the A's....

got there early, registered right behind zach and ruff, so i had a good min and 30sec man to chase.... we rode the course and i was feeling a little flat and even got dropped on the way back to the start line.....ouch..

as for the tt, i was rockin out and feeling fairly good on the way east, kept my hr at a sustained rate but wasn't as high as i was expecting/hoping for (prob a result of the last 2 days of racing)...i went with it and before i hit the turn around my 30sec man passed me...ouch, hope he was an A.... then shortly after the turn around chase passed me...dam he's fast as he took 2nd in the a's... i was feeling better and faster on the way back and my hr even jumped...although i couldn't wait for it to end. i pushed hard for the finish line and laid down a time of 16:20ish...just checked and that was fast enough for 16th place....shit......just like throwing away $8 as i only got 1 point out of that deal.........guess i won't be doing the tt after 2 days of racing.....

on a side note i noticed last night when i got home that my rear wheel was rubbing, so who knows when that started (not an excuse as i should have made absolutely sure) but still sucks ass.............. oh well, lookin like friday's gonna be a recovery day...
