Jack T and Gary S both beat me today on TT bikes with aero helmets. I thought it might have been faster this week, it felt faster to me, but looking at the times it is hard to say other than I knocked a hell of a lot of time off.

I felt good.

Packing the ice for the end was a nice treat to cool down with. My backpack and lunch box got a bit wet from the melting of said ice in a leaky ziplock combined with the high humidity but they will dry off.

For the record, last week Jonny Bold came out and ticked off a 16:47, the next fastest was Brier at 18:27 and Mike Mederos at 18:31 and then Chris Phenix at 18:51 (all of them on full TT bike with aero helmet, disc wheel, the works).

The only concession to wind i'm offering is the aero bars and the 60mm deep dish wheels (front and back). Other than that it is a bike mechanic time machine. Y'all know the bike, right? Hell I think I could drop the bars another 2 inches and still be able to pedal pretty well.

I almost thought I could have gone harder in a few spots but, by the end I laid it all out and it was what it was. The headwind coming home on the bike path off the water wasn't so hot, at least it felt okay until I walked into the air conditioned house.

Made some kick ass pasta tonight, ate three big bowls of it, now am trying to unwind. These Thursday night TTs usually get me 2h45m on the bike for the day. Counts as long day and really hard day.

Felt good... felt good. Now to unwind enough to fall asleep.
