I had the state TT today, and the junk is sore again! I warmed up, per plan, but had one small mishap. Landen did not replace the magnet on my wheel following Nationals. Thus, I had no speedometer. Moving forward.

I got out of the gates well, and passed two people before the turn-a-round. Between passing cyclist #1 and cyclist #2, I noticed what sounded like a jet. No, it was this guy . My monologue was as follows: I immediately thought,"nice, a very, very fast rabbit." Countered by,"Dude, what are you thinking, that guy just put 2 minutes into you, how on earth are you going to stay with him." Rob English is a TT demon and clocked a 51:20 for the TT!

I passed four more people on the way back, but was caught by another guy in the 1,2 devision. I did manage to not loose any more time to the second person to pass, keeping up with his pace for the last 10 km. All and all, I felt really good with the new saddle position. I ended up with a time of 55:03, a personal best for the 40 km TT, and besting my firecracker TT 40 km time by 2:03. I think runners call that a personal record. So to recapitulate:

40 km State TT
55:03
27.5 mph
5th overall
