Riding the Tour of St. Louis Individual Time Trial
Submitted by Brent Hugh on Thu, 06/17/2004 - 6:59pm
Bob Wooldridge posted his account of riding in the Tour of St. Louis Individual Time Trial on his blog, RAW Data:
TT's are all pain, nothing more nothing less. Warmup well and then suffer, that's the key. Sounds like fun doesn't it?
About the mile and a half mark, something strange happens. A Dogfish rider passes me. It looks like Mark Nagey who I know is a very strong cat 3. If he's in the race, he passed at least two people before he got to me. Then Jim passes me looking solid. I notice that his cadence is slower than mine. I'm running about 94 - 95 so I shift to a harder gear and try staying in the 80's a bit. This could be more efficient but harder on the leg muscles. . . .
