SG 25km TT 4th July

This was our first opportunity to race the Nationals TT course.  The weather was overcast and cool.  I drove to the start and had the wind trainer to warm up on.  I was also using Pauls old disc and had lowered the front of the bike an additional 2cm.  I was also going to try and sit further back to see if that would give me a slightly more aero position.

The rain started just before I began - it was coming down quite heavily.  I tried as hard as I could but just didn't feel quite right with the position.  On the way back I thought I had a flat tyre and actually stopped to check - I didn't which actually annoyed me more.  After that I moved forward on the seat more which I believe gives me more power.  The time wasn't great - 0:37:10 so just over 40kph well down on my time in April.  Still it was a good learning experience.
