Definition of pain = 40 km time trial
Did my first 40 km time trial this weekend. My time was 68 minutes. I was hoping for a faster time but the course was actually quite hilly. All I can say is OUCH! I was chasing the rider in front of me and it took every ounce of strength I had to hold the pace. I loved every minute of it.
I was wondering if it is worth taking tylenol or any sort of pain medication?

You mean as a preventive measure for the pain of a TT?
I'll leave that one to the TT experts, but as I understand it they always hurt. If they don't you're probably not going hard enough.

Will be doing 30K TT this Sunday, will see how I will do. I think TT is the only event that shows how masochist cyclists are.

I'm doing my first TT. Its a 12 mile one. Not to long, but long enough to hurt. I'm really looking forward to it. There is a two man team TT as well that I'm doing.

Hmmm, where have I heard that before?
Have I doped? Sure! Took Vicodin before rides as my broken pelvis healed ... works great!
My best 40k TT was 1:00:30 on a straight road bike at Big Flats, WI.
Yeah, it hurts.
