Time Trial / Time Trialling / TT

I'm the boss. No need for excuses :(

Was hoping that the later 8.15 start tonight would mean I could make it, but no chance. Ho hum.

Boss fail.

What was your fuelling like? What did you do in the 2 days before?

A 10 you can get away with poorer fuelling and less rest. But nearing the end of a 25 you'll be brushing on nil glycogen stores if you didin't go in 100% +.

Ahh, the days when I could PB a 25 after 12hrs sinking piss at a mate's bbq, getting 3 hours sleep and then riding 2hrs out to the start...

Slow in the first place?
Or just young?

Drunk, mostly.

Boss fail.

I know.

On the upside, I'm off to wales on Friday to ride in the rain for a week.

I like cycling in Wales.

Me too, unfortunately for the first three days Damo will be beasting me on every climb - then he goes home and I get to ride slowly. #traininglikeapro

Spike his drinks. Simples.

Yeah, spike his drinks!

Just grab onto his saddle.

Get him to push you up the slopes. Maybe even include some inappropriate touching.

He will probably forget his drinks, and his bike, and where Euston station is.

Who is this Damo?

Inappropriate touching is already on the trip itinerary, but it's planned as part of the apres ski program

Who is this Damo?

Just this guy, you know?

There's always a first time for everything, even for a time trial.

I'm up for doing the 24 next year and I've never done a single TT in my life, and no plans to do any before the 24.

I have done some long distance riding though, so I'll know I'll be fine (especially mentally) with something as short(!) as a 24.

Quoted, you can't go back on it now.

Ha! Epic fail. Nowhere near it. I've done a single 200km Audax this year and one other ride over 100km.

There's always a first time for everything, even for a time trial.

It was a PB by 1:29 over my previous best set on a road bike in '10.

Aussie bravado.

What's bravado about it? It's fact.

You and Mrsmith turn into a little bunch of jingistic (his favourite word) mofos whenever the Ashes is mentioned don't ya?

jingistic (his favourite word)

Typical Aussie, can't spell simple English words like jingoistic

My spelling isn't too bad. Probably better than my typing.

Anyway it looks like we all make mistakes, deary.

You forgot this ->.

You mean you've done more than one time trial?!1?!!!1?
