Tony Grove TT

First off, thanks Justin for putting this blog together! It is fun to read and be apart of your cycling experiences. It has been a few years since I have done the Tony Grove Time Trial. I had done this 3-4 times previous to Thursday night and I was very familiar with my previous times from the years past. It was easy to remember my times because I just could not seem to break the 32 minute mark. So needless to say It has been my goal to break the 32 minute mark. I was determined to break it below 32 minutes and not more than 32. There was a great turn out with 22 guys. Because I have not been TTing this year I was about 4th to start. I plugged the ipod in and went for it. Quin Bingham was behind me 30 seconds which totally helped me keep a fast pace. I felt pretty good, but was not sure what my time was going to be. I felt good about holding QB off til about the last half a mile. When he caught me we pushed the pace side by side gasping for air as we were both in the red. As we crossed the line out of breath, the only thing I knew I had going for me is that QB didn't put more than 40 seconds on me so I figured I had rode a decent time. I was very pleased to find that I had a new personal record for that course 31:36. Casha and the girls were so good to cheer me on and take pictures along the way. I was very happy and pleased to feel good, and set a new PR.
