In the last few weeks I traveled to Louisville, KY for the national championships. I did the TT and the criterium, finishing 14th in the TT and unfortunately not finishing the criterium. The TT went well as it was a hilly 25.8 km course and I averaged 27.4 mph. The winner however did 32.6 mph by my calculations ... FAST!!!
Anyhow this past Thursday I did the Expo TT on a regular road bike, no aero equipment. They have a Merckx "cannibal" style category (non-aero). The record for that was previously 15:13, the best time for that category in the two years it ran. I managed 14:54 so yeah, I get the new course record in that category. Sweet!
Anyways I haven't been racing too much outside of nationals this year. In the earlier part of the season I was barely riding at all. However after my girlfriend and I broke up I decided to get back to riding more. Who knows, maybe I'll be inspired this next year to race more seriously.
