4 20 minute TTs in 24 hours

maybe not the best way to have a really fast time for #3.

#1 was 20 minutes almost to the nose - full intensity, no wind, but a few stop signs and traffic
#2 was 25 minutes or just under - race pace, brutal headwind, stops and joggers and walkers and cars.
#3 was 20:06 (three seconds slower than solobreak) very little wind
#4 was 24 minutes just like #1 but on the cross bike w/o disc wheel or aero bars, actually might have been going hardest for the last one.

I'm not really counting the interval between #2 and #3 when I TTed up to the henderson for 20 minutes, but maybe I should.

got a few things to work on to hopefully get the 20:06 back down a bit... at this point my slowest time last year was 19:39, but I think the Paramount has a lower position than the quantum. And last night was the first time i'd done it w/o any pacing aids. All summer I used the avg and current speed to help throttle back on some of the down hills. Last night? Well I just rode hard. Completely left it all out there but it was not a smart ride. But hey, it is what it was. I didn't get caught and I was third from last to start. Lots of positives to apply going into two weeks from now. No TT on the 2nd of July. 4th of July weekend and Fitchburg sort of compete for the attendance. We'll see if I can get back under the 19 minute mark like last summer.

Ideally I wanted to take it easy on the way in this morning but I had a time deadline to be here and the girls still wanted to ride to the Y. No denying them the ride in.

Maybe I can take it easy on the way home.
