NBRC Club '10' Astwood 21/3/09 (League round 1)
Sunny; Temp: 7°C; Wind: WSW 8mph; Hum: 67%; Press: 1031mB; Vis: Very good
It's been a very pleasant week here - mostly sunny, though rather cold first thing in the morning. Not an excellent week of training, unfortunately. I did manage a 20 mile morning road training ride on Tuesday (this was a mixture of level 2 and level 3), but later in the week I wasn't very well so didn't do further sessions.
This event was the first counting event in the North Bucks Road Club time trial league, and was once again based on the Astwood sporting course. On a lovely sunny (but quite cold) morning, this contributed to a pretty large turnout. I found it pretty chilly lining up to start, and once on the road, felt pretty weak en route to Chicheley and the first turn. In fact, I felt so lacking in power that I nearly packed there and then. Fortunately I felt a bit better after the turn, as I had a slight tail wind.
The rest of the race was relatively uneventful, though the climb up to the finish seemed rather tough! I finished with 24:55, which was a 5 second improvement over my last solo performance on this course two weeks ago. Given how crap I felt in the first 3 miles or so, I was quite pleased with that.
