colorado state TT championship Cat4: 38K of flats and false flats near the airport. good weather, some wind, hot, 80 some degrees...
put a lot of time into position and getting the most out out of clip ons and a roadbike.
it was my first "40K" TT, and my only scouting was the drive to the race which only covered about half the course.
paced well, worked hard. started to relax when i started passing guys on the first leg.
ended up 6th, missed the podium by 37 seconds, avg speed of 25.8mph. promising enough and enjoyed it enough that i feel like i want to invest in a TT bike.
