ouch

damn that hurt. not as much then as it does now. felt like i left something on the table today... but about 15 min before we got to the course i had a side cramp/stitch that just wouldn't go away. Stayed with me the whole TT, hurt. It is gone now but i think it sucked a few seconds out of me.

19:13 today. huge improvement. We did have a tailwind, that made it faster a bit and the frankenbike worked well. Well it worked well other than the Reynolds free-hub sounding like i was grinding rocks or something. Disconcerting.

Went too hard in a few places before the right turn but it was good. Burke set pretty tough pace on the way home. At least it felt pretty brutal, I was at my limit until they peeled off across the bridge and I rolled on to the bike path.

doing that on one water bottle was stupid but i'd at least had enough water and salt leading up to it that i was okay.

20:42 - then 21:42 and today 19:13.

might be close to my fastest time ever on the course. going to work on getting some consistency with the TT going and focus on making the commutes either super super easy (like tomorrow morning will be) or really really intense, either intervals or steady state.

Maybe it will work.
