Central Valley Classic Time Trial

There was a headwind out and some wind on most of the course. I rode Mike Shumake’s Cervelo TT bike with a Zipp 606 front and Zipp disk. The bars didn’t have me really low. The saddle was also a little high. I used Rebecca’s saddle and computer for speed. I sprinted for 10 seconds at the start and then took three minutes to build into my pace.

It felt hard and my legs were having issues turning the gears over. It was hard with only speed to go off. Christine Thornburn blew past me 20 min into the TT; she started 90 seconds behind me. I caught two other women. Katheryn Curi blew by me with 1 km to go; she started 2.5 min behind me. I didn’t have my best ride. Christine Thornburn won in 39 min; Dotsie Baush 2nd in 39:29; Katheryn Curi 3rd in 39:53. I was 21st in 42:40 (3:34 behind Christine).
