My first 10 TT (unofficial)

Postby Nick » Fri Jun 15, 2007 6:52 pm

Went out this afternoon to try my first attempt at a 10 TT.

I did have a small amount of tailwind some of the way but I managed an incredable time of 26.50 :D :D without tri bars.

I was so shocked I almost fell off maybe due to the fact a was totally exhausted...but it took over 33 minutes for the return after a 20 minute break.

Has given me an incentive now to try the club evening 10's but I am more than sure I'll never get that time again.....

Good stuff! So what you waiting for? You'll never know if you can beat it unless you try :wink:

Good time Nick, did you use the Holmwood course or did you just do a 10 mile straight run?

The Holmwood course isn't flat and as an out and back if you get a tailwind, it'll be a headwind at some point :twisted:

Give it a go, they're just a bit of fun. You're a bit of a power house so could do a good time, although you've let everyone know now so Jon might be tight with your handicap. :wink:

Toks - when are you going to try for your target (I haven't forgotten your "goal" :) ). Paul, George, and now Adam have all stamped their mark for the road racers alliance.
