Sounded like a good day Gavin.

On Sunday I was competing for Abbotsford CC but wearing Dromara colours in a 50mile timetrial. To be honest I didn't know quite to expect as haven't ridden many tt's before.
Weather conditions were windy and wet, roads were bumpy, lumpy and potholey. It was 3 laps of a circuit, in which you had to manoeuvre through 2 roundabouts and 2 junctions. The route was marshalled but they didn't stop traffic.

It was a tough course. I cycled using my heart rate which worked well as was able to keep effort consistent . My legs were screaming for the last 5 miles as I really had to push it to get under 2.30 hrs.

I managed to be the 5th lady home with a time of 2.29 hrs (20mph average) The first lady did a 2:19hrs.

The first guy home did a 1:51 for 50 miles which was awesome.

Good day ... looking forward to the next one to beat my time.
