Time trialing in 'Bama

I competed in my first time trial here in Montgomery on Wednesday evening. I had run intervals in the morning, so my legs weren't exactly fresh, but I still managed to average 23.17 mph over the 5.6 mile course. So I was pleased with myself. Until I saw the final results.

How good was the competition? My 14:30 finishing time was 13th out of 28 riders. Yes, the middle of the pack. Granted, most of the folks (not all guys, I'm ashamed to say) who beat me had time trial bikes, while I was riding my road bike with an aero bar. But still...

'Bama has cyclists. These guys are good.

Stats coming tomorrow. A preview: one duathlon, a couple of rides, and a lot of running intervals and tempos. I'm beat.
