Training w/Race Simulations
Todays ride started from my house with Cathy Boland and we headed over to Doug's, from there the three of us headed to Appalachee Farms to hook up with Rachel's new roommate's brother, James Campbell.
We cruised around the Mt Moriah - Doc Hughes loop and did the Sunny Hill sprint with the "attack zone" starting right after we crossed back over I-85 and turned off of Gravel Springs Road. James tried his best to get rid of me before the sprint but it just didn't happen. His time trial bike was a disadvantage in the actual sprint but he's a strong guy and a great fighter - great fun.
We took him over to the 3-mile Cedars TT course, where his bike would now be to his advantage. I started 30 seconds before him and told him to catch me. He finished in about 0:07:27 which I think is great. My results, listed below, were par for the course. The wind favored the out and slowed us on the way back, but it all comes out about the same in an out-and-back course.
