State TT was a big fat flop o rama! I had a pretty good time going till 10k to go then took a big dump right there on the 30k mark. Went from 26mph+ to 23mph- literally as I crossed that mark. The mind was partially willing but the legs refused to cooperate getting on top of the gear. I guess my collarbone has been the nail in the coffin for this year. Granted 3 weeks on the bike isn't much. I did set a PR but not by much. I was hoping for a sub 55 minute time back in May. Was on 56 minute pace for a long time till I lost 2 minutes in 10k. Maybe I should go ahead & join the pro domino tour because I suck @ the bike game. Any one want to buy a low mileage TT bike? I can't make it go very fast maybe you can.
The day on the whole was pretty fun Amber & Mia came along. My little sister showed up with my twin nieces Nina & Ashton. So I had a pretty good cheering section for the 10 seconds they got to see me @ the start & finish. Mia did get wore out after waiting for 3 hours for results to not be posted. So we load up the car & headed back to the SPR.
This is how impressed Amber was with my finishing time.


Back to the drawing board.
Man you look good though!
ReplyDeleteGreat job anyway.
You got 3rd!! I stuck around for the awards ceremony. Go bug Mike W. for your medal!
ReplyDeleteYou suck? You came past me like I was riding a tricycle.
Third place? Not too bad for a broke down old lion!
ReplyDelete3rd out of 3 though so that would be last place no?
ReplyDeleteI knew you were a loser!
ReplyDeleteDan that's pretty funny a tricycle. Ha I must have been @ the State kick bike champs the way I felt. Ted M humbled me & I'm pretty damn humble already.
ReplyDeleteMy bad... I must have been a bad listener, because it looks like you WON your category!!

Mad props!
Nice job state champ. Can you get that jersey in xxl so I can have one?
ReplyDeleteHow about that time for the cat 4 guy!
Don't be so hard on yourself. You did awesome. We really enjoyed watching you even if it was for a few minutes. The time flew by so I know you didn't do as bad as what you thought. However a lot of that was thanks to your little girl and Gregs wife! Negativity doesn't get you anywhere. Be positive with a positive attitude you will get better results!
ReplyDeleteCongrats dewd! See, all that negative self talk was for naught.
ReplyDeleteScott - you should be proud, that was a good time on a really tough day. Those last 10k were as tough as any I've ever done. Posting a time like that after breaking your collarbone is awesome - and you get the jersey!
