The Meat Pie Flies Again!
Raced the Piru 20km TT Sunday AM, carpooled with TnA. The first real ITT of the 2009 season.
It was windy. Strong tailwind on the outleg and a gnarly headwind home.
266WAP, 271WP, 49.6kph avg outbound.
Did I mention there was a tailwind?
260W AP, 271W NP, 31.0kph avg.
I did say wind right?
~12min to the turn, ~19:30 to the finish. 31:26 @ 262W AP, 271W NP, 38kph avg.
All in all, not bad for the first TT effort of the season. I was convinced that I had totally blown the pacing on the outleg and gone too hard because I was sailing the tailwind and it felt great. Can't believe that I even split the power. Hell, I was holding 65kph through some sections and couldn't help myself.
Well, no racing for me next weekend. Jenelle's birthday celebration and brew club - so I'm still a wiener.

I love those "great split at the turnaround, help me lord on the way back" days at Piru...
We'll miss you at Encino's season opener next weekend (but not as much as we would if you missed Jenelle's birthday celebration).
