Well, I wasn't too happy with 1:00.04 but thinking about it..
I'd been drinking at a mate's 40th for 12 hours yesterday.
I got to bed at 1.30am after eating a 12" meatball subway to ease the hangover.
I woke up at 4.30am and had only instant coffee to drink.
I rode (a bit shakey and holding back the vom) to the start 40k away.
I did set a PB for the 25 and took 1:29 off my previous best time on that course (set on a road bike 2 years ago) but a guy I used to beat took 4 mins out of me.
My power data indicates that I'm producing about the same power on the TT bike as I did on the road bike. This is good.
If I didn't miss a turn and get stopped at 2 RABs I'd have made sub-hour.
I can barely walk now. This is bad.
