(from Jenn)
Well, after my embarrassing performance at the first time trial of the year last month, I've been afraid to go back. Sure, I said it was o.k. because I could only improve on my first time. But what if I didn't...? What if I couldn't? And so I stayed away.
But tonight I sucked it up and headed out. It was a cool, comfortable night, but a little windy. Peter (and a few others) rode earlier, and he said it sucked. Good, I thought. At least I'll have an excuse if I do terribly again.
But it wasn't that bad! I rode a 30:10, which isn't fast by any means, and which is still two minutes off my PR from last year, but it's a minute plus faster than my May time. I'll take it! I felt especially good about my effort on the last uphill stretch. I usually plan to push it hard there but have nothing left and have to just spin it out to the finish. But tonight I felt like I was able to maintain more power through the end. Felt good! In a painful kinda way. :-)
