So it's not exactly sanctioned or anything, but Salisbury School ran its first time trial of the season today, and for once the weather was actually nice! They decided to send me first on the course since I was hoping to get back quickly since I was technically on duty during the race, and if anyone else got hurt (cycling or otherwise), I was going to have to drive them to the hospital.
It was on a nice, 10.3 mile loop around the lakes in Salisbury, and about halfway through I started to feel like I was in a groove. I hadn't warmed up enough, which definitely hurt me - but it's good because I'll be readier for the next one. In the end, I finished in 27:18, averaging 22.63mph. This was fourth best - 3:20 behind Chris Fisher who won the thing. In between us were two kids from Trinity Pawling School who had time trial bikes and funky helmets - and I'm now determined to beat at least one of those guys in one of these time trials.
It was fun, and now I'll have a time to measure my progress.
