So here's some more:

7/24 - CRCA Race - drafting definitely matters! 14:50, 14:43, 14:49, 15:08, 14:19.

back to solo, after a week or two, i'm still improving.

7/26 - only two laps actually recorded: 16:39, 16:58
7/27 - today - 16:05, 16:34. 16:31

im pretty happy with this, considering that just a few days ago i was averaging around 17:30, and could barely break 17:00.
