Race #25 Cleves TT

Another incredibly hot Tuesday. Drank two huge glasses of water before leaving, one bottle on the drive and one bottle after my warm up. I think I still lost weight as I was still sweating 30 minutes after the race. Anyway, the race went well but I think I started off too hot as I was 25.5 average after two miles. I tried to hold that but I ended short. The last three miles were incredibly hard as it was one of those days you almost (almost) wished for a flat tire.

The wattage was pretty decent all things considered but my time was not great for whatever reason. Since the LG helmet died, I've been using my old Giro and I hate it. Zero air flow. I'm guessing I would have been faster wearing a cooler but less aero helmet.

Next race tomorrow! Cyclocross time trial?!
