Don, Mike and I all went out to compete in the TT last Sunday. They day started out drizzly and the precipitation stopped about halfway there. The clouds remained until late morning. I tried replicating my effort of a month ago by moderating my pace out to the turn around point. What I didn't do was go hard enough on the way back for fear of blowing up halfway back on the return leg. I ended up with a finish time of 31:54 which is almost a full minute slower than my personal best last month. I do know now that I had way to much to give after I was finished so I know I could have gone a lot harder on the way back. I'll adjust and see how next month's race goes.
On another note, I started running again. I rode around Bonelli Park today and posted my fastest 2 lap times ever. I've never been under 20 minutes at all, even for a single lap before. Today I posted my first lap at 19:54 and the second at 19:58. After two laps I returned to the car and went for a run around the neighborhood. I ran 3.2 miles and averaged 7:41/mile. My legs are feeling the workout but I'm very happy with the times today.
