Jr National Time trial 08

Well after getting packet pick up and getting pinned the day before I was finally heading to the start of the TT course. As me and my dad got into the parking lot I saw a bunch of my cycling friends and my dad met Tim (the guy that got me into Idaho). After a few minuets socializing I started to get ready. once I got ready I had an hour to kill before my 11:48 start time. after an Hour I finally got ready and was in the start gate waiting to go.

After the final countdown I was finally let out of the start gate. I started out harder than I normally would a TT because the course started out at a grade. Any way I had no Idea how steep the beginning of the course was. I quickly found my self doing a very slow start. after I got out off the hills I finally got a fast rhythm going and stareded to pass several riders. I finished strong and thought I did a very fast time, but I soon realized I was out of the top ten and just left to get ready for the crit

Recap

This course sucked. It reminded me of the mountain Time trial I did in Idaho then my flat 20k I did at state. The course was also extremely dangerous for example the entire flat fast part of the course was on a highway with cars zinging by at 70+. any way I'm going to use one of my favorite quotes right now.
