Just home from my first 10 mile TT. My aim was to get under that half hour mark, a real challenge for me as I'm on my normal road bike & don't possess any of the fancy technology or streamlined things that everyone else has. I even forgot to take off my saddlebag, but its a step up from having mudguards on I suppose.
It was windy, undulating & riding with us were the likes of Dame Sarah Storey & Katie Archibald, definitely no fastest times for us mere mortals. Back at HQ after tea & cake I went to see my time & was so shocked to see I had done it in 28:38. I never dreamed of being so quick! Unfortunately this has now set my benchmark time which I will somehow need to improve upon...
