Tasman Champs TT - 13th September

Well it was a really nice day for a change. As my TT bike is still being constructed I was back to the EMC with clipons - not the most aerodynamic position but not bad. My legs were pretty tired from the day before so I was a bit unsure how things would go. I was also unsure about what to ride. It was a bit breezy and with my tiredness I couldn't decide between using a disk or just sticking with the 404's. In the end I opted for the disc but in hindsight I think the 404's might have been better (the rear is almost 1kg lighter). I started out well but the breeze was turning into a head wind on some sections and a cross wind in others. I caught the guy in front before the turn which was encouraging and watched in awe as Conway Taylor rode past me (thankfully after the turn). I finished in 0:36:33 which wasn't that flash but was good enough to give me first place.
