Strawberry Fest TT - Oh Yeah!

First hot day appeared perfectly for the Strawberry Fest TT. haha May was wet and chilly. Summer is here. I've been fortunate to win this race a few times with many 2nd & 3rd's over the years. I've put in a lot of work to get back to a respectable level. Not my best, but pretty happy how things have progressed on the tt bike. Gravel & single track are more a priority or should I say a bit more fun. haha 89 degrees with SW wind at 14 mph. Got in the warm up. Legs were kind of meh but not too bad. I rolled up the start line at 6:07:30.  Tebow counted me down. SR 589 was fast considering it was chip n sealed last Fall. I started fast at 343 avg watts for the first mile then 335 avg watts to Loy at mile 2. Loy East bound was a mix of cross & tailwind, but pretty happy with that effort. Going South on Alcony - Conover was tough in the wind. It hurt.  I finally made it to Troy - Urbana SW to the finish. The Beast passed me like a sports car. LOL I stayed focused on my effort tho. I pushed hard to the line. 3rd Place overall at 27.1 mph avg. I'll take it. Yeah! The Beast took 1st at 29.6 mph avg. Wow! Wattzille 2nd. T.Bolt did well in 10th. I then hopped on the fat bike for race # 2. 19 mph avg. That hurt too. hehe Great job all racers and thanks to Speedy feet. 

Venga!

Town Run Sunday Video

Weekend Wrap Up

Rest day Friday. Rain rain go away. lol I opted for a Zwift TT on Saturday for Strawberry TT Prep. 19,5 mile course. I went a bit easier  but steady higher cadence tempo to keep the legs fresh. 2nd Place in my category / 5th Overall. Sunday Josh & I hit Town Run in Indy. Awesome day. So much fun. A little redemption as it will be a year next weekend from our last visit. I broke my collarbone when Josh yelled snake which scared the crap out of me. It felt great going back and having fun today. Quite a few PR's for us. Josh did great! I hit the TT bike for a 10 mile interval ride with 2 KOM's in Cow Country in the evening. Pretty good numbers too. Fun stuff!

Venga!
