State TT

This is a little late, but better late then never. Anyway, last time I blogged I was beating up on some masters riders nothing too great. However, this time is a little more exciting I actually beat some good riders. We had the state TT a week ago and I have to be honest I didn't know what to expect. The last time I did a TT with any significance was in Irvine, Ca and that ended with a flat tire. I felt like my form was good and was expecting to win, but then again you never know. There was a good turn out lots of people sporting very expensive bikes and gear that I sure that they only ride five times a year. Things started out well we got there early and drove the course. I had never raced this particular course before and wanted to see it. It was a 23.25 mile out and back course with rolling hills at the beginning and end. We headed north first and then turned and went back south. This being Nebraska wind was going to be a factor. However, the wind was blowing north to south so we had a tail wind first. I started fast catching my minute man pretty quick and then I started pulling back people the rest of the way. I wanted to have something left in the tank toward the end so I tried to be steady in the middle and hammer the last half. Everything was going good until the end when I started to get tired the last 1.5 miles. My time was good but I still need some work before nationals. All in all it was a good race.
