Best and Worst Races of the season

This past weekend i skipped out on collegiate racing to do my first Time Trial of the year. On saturday i went to Waterford to do the circuit race. Last season i had a good result there and hoped to better that this year. Unfortunatly i got a chest cold and the weather was the worst possible conditions to race a bike in with winds, rain and a temp of about 33degrees. I raced aggressivley but just didn't have much top end and had trouble breathing. I ended up finishing up in the pack with a less than impressive performance. The next day on Sunday, i went to the Fisk Knob TT to test out my new TT bike and new disk. I was a little hesitant since my chest was still hurting and i could feel the pressure. I decided to do the race anyways. The course is a rolling T shaped 17mile race. With high winds and 2 turn arounds it would prove to be a tough course. I got a good warm up and started strong. At the 10mile mark i looked down at my computer and i had been racing for 20minutes. I have never averaged 30mph in any TT for any decent length of distance. I was pretty stoked but a little worried about going too hard too early. I ended up winning the overall. I was very happy with the result and with the race. I am looking forward to the next TT with some more confidence.
