PLT TT #1

Yesterday was my first "long" time trial for the season and I don't think it could have been on a hotter more miserable day if they tried. It should never be in the 90's before 10 in the morning, that's just wrong. That being said I did much better than I expected and more so considering the conditions, it was meant to just be a training race in preparation for the state time trial in two weeks so I wasn't even rested up for it. I told my wife since it was so hot to just hang out in the car with the a/c going and come out to the finish line in about a hour since I was expecting to be in at the 1:10 range since I was thinking it was a 40k so when I hit the line at a hour flat on my display screen I was excited until I notice that it was just over 22 miles. It was still a good result but have some bugs to work out, the seat was killing me from halfway on, so I was constantly moving around trying to get where it didn't hurt so bad, sitting up out of the aero bars on way too many occasions to take some of the pressure off the seat and reaching for the water bottle an awful lot. I haven't heard from everyone on the team that was there but I know that Jennifer and Sharon did really good and I'm sure the rest of them rocked that course, all 6 turns, wow!! Didn't know if it was a time trial or a road race loop. Can't wait to see the results, I rolled out before they were posted so I don't even know where I finished, but at least it was a finish.... Now if someone can just do a dance or something so that it's only in the 80's for the state race..... My official time ended up being 1:00:35 for 9th place.
