Kitt Peak TT

Last Sunday was the Kitt Peak Time Trial, an 11.6 mile hill climb up to the Kitt Peak National Observatory. While I didn't clock my target time of under an hour, nobody in the CAT5s did. When the results finally came in, I placed fourth in the race, only a little more than one minute off the leader, and ended up fetching 3rd place overall for the Lerua's Mountain Series classification. My first podium finish. It's recovery time now and it seems as though even if I was thinking about Mt Graham and the Arizona State Hill Climb Championships, I don't think it's going to happen. Best to recover and stay focused on TBC. (The photo above is me at the start.
