June 11 20k Individual Time trial  

After postponement Tuesday, and again on Wednesday, we finally got our fourth 20k ITT off the ground thanks to sunny skies, and light winds. The only complaint was the temp of 9 deg C, which is 48 deg F for those lucky buggers who are eligible for Missy’s $100.00 sneaker giveaway.

So after what I thought was a brutal first 20k, this one was a vast improvement knocking almost 3 minutes off my 42:52 from three weeks ago, to 39:55 tonight.

Hilights from tonight, I didn’t get passed by Rick until about 18k mark. He usually catches me before the turn around, although that may have as much to do with the great turnout, and a better seed than my performance. I almost caught the number 1 starter. I’ll catch her before the end of the season.

Hopefully with a couple of hard weeks of training, I’ll be ready for the 40k coming up in 2 weeks, and the next sprint in about 2 and a half weeks.
