On Apr 7th, Myself (Patricia Benson) and Sandra King and Chris Menicou were participating.
On Feb 18th I arrived early but was unable to get a good warm up in (nerves, taking it all in and general just not sure about the whole process yet).
I had a interesting ride, this is an open course and twice I was slowed down by a large group of cyclists. I found this a bit frustrating. Over all I gave it my best and received a time of 33:42. The course is about 10 miles. I was happy with my time.
On Apr 7th I again arrived early but knew the set up. I got my number and set to warming up on the trainer. I felt much better and ready for the TT. The first half felt great, the second half seemed harder than before. I felt I gave it my all but I also feared I was a smidge slower. No surprise since I had not put in a lot of hours on the bike in March and I am fighting my allergies right now. Sure enough the times were posted and I was almost a minute slower at 34:36.
I hope in May when the next TT is that I can improve my time.
Maybe we will see more team members out there? Its quick, local and for Cancer.
