Clark's Time Trial

Ouch! After my disappointing performance last night I went to bed early and woke up at 5:30 this morning. Since I hadn't really raced, I figured the training plan had room for a hard effort. I thought about riding to work via Big Cottonwood as preparation for Saturday's hill climb, but decided instead to ride from the house to Clark's for another crack at the tt. While I didn't have great legs, I also wasn't feeling bad, and managed to shave 38 seconds off my time to finish with 13:30 at an average heart rate of 183. It felt good to push hard, though I was disappointed not to crack 13 minutes. I think it's time to stop avoiding the inevitable and give it a go on the single speed next time!

38 seconds is still a better time. I'm interested to see how you do on the SS. Get on it man, your fans are getting restless.

Fans? I think you must have mistaken this blog for Fat Cyclist or Bike Snob NYC. I have no fans that I'm aware of...

You do us an injustice. Yeah, not everyone can be a Fatty or the Mop, but you're still one of the originals.
