Congrats!
I won my 20k TT today by 4 minutes, PRed it by 6 seconds on 5% less power than my previous best (new position), and wound up only 57 seconds behind the men's cat 1/2 winner. Times were generally really slow today (mine was ok), it's been really hot but in theory warm conditions are faster. Only in the 80s during the race, which isn't so bad, but maybe the record extreme heat we've been having scared the fast people off??
Some aero atrocities occurred too, just happy with the
PR in light of that.
Good experience to race in some heat and to test the new position. So far, the position seems faster even though it's more difficult to ride.
