This was an extremly short time trial, 2 laps of the race course, for a total of 2.8 miles. There was a mixup from the officials, telling us the intervals for start times would be "30 seconds" and that women would go off "last." We asked for a time frame, and got anywhere from 9:50 to 10:30. Nice way to plan a warmup, huh? So we warmed up once, and three of us went out there around 10. At 10:30, the official told us it would be another hour. They had decided to use one minute intervals instead. Back down we went to kill time, then warm up again. We actually went off sometime around 11:45. I thought I had a decent time, but I was more than 30 seconds behind the winner. I knew post ride I hadn't gone anywhere fast enough, because I had too little acid in my legs. I've never done such a short TT, and it showed. The other women figured it out, so I'm sure I can, too. I think I was 3rd or 4th of the cat 1-3 women--they listed all women together, though 1-3 were being scored separately from the 4s on the series.
