The eternal quest to lose 5kg…
This year I was in pretty good form and I started the race below 80kgs. The bad news is that all but three other riders climbed better than me on day one. Day two and three saw this number go down a teeny tiny bit. The best I could do was in the ITT where I rode 4th fastest. For the remaining stages, I placed 7th to 10th out of 14. Pretty crap.
So, with that in mind, all you get here are Strava rides and Youtube videos.
Today the limit was off 16 mins. I was on scratch with 3 others. I spent much of the two laps before I was dropped hanging onto the back.
Lap 3 was crap. I perked up for lap 4, but it was the slowest.
Lap 1: 38.8kph
Lap 2: 39.2kph
Lap 3: 34.6kph
Lap 4: 34.5kph
Next week we have the club ITT champs. I should be able to average lap 2 speed, but based on my solo laps, that looks optimistic.
