The past few weeks I have 'raced' in a few time trials with my local cycling club. I think myself as much fitter than the average person and regularly cycle 75+miles on a weekend ride, so the thought of a series of trials on a weekday evening consisting of 10,25 and 6 miles respectively don't seem to difficult right?
Not so! To cut a long story short I have discovered to the detriment of my legs and pain threshold that no matter how short the races or how fit and prepared you are heading to these kind of things they hurt!
In fact if they don't hurt and you feel comfortable, then you are not trying hard enough- no matter what the race, long or short, fast or slow, if done right you will be suffering at the end!
So now I have established some decent PB's including 1h05m for the 25 on a standard beautiful Bianchi (with aero bars and a silly helmet) I am ready to start the next round of trials and suffer even more! All in the name of fun right....
