Mt Lemmon TT

The results from today's TT up Mt. Lemmon are in and I did a good ride. I came in 7th place in a field of 45 riders with a time of 55:21 at an average speed of 12.30mph. The conditions were optimal--overcast skies and no wind to speak of, which was a relief after the headwind we had on last week's training ride. I felt really good for the majority of the ride. In a couple of sections--after mile post 6 (or was it 7?) and especially between 10 and 11--it hurt but I kept myself under control so I didn't blow up. As far as TTs go, I rode a good one. I never let up, I pinched seconds whenever possible by notching up a gear or two, and after crossing the line I felt as though I'd given everything. And as an added bonus, I beat that guy who won the crit back in July by 15 seconds. Next up, Kitt Peak.
