#22: Memphis Grand Prix TT
The rain and lightning end up delaying the starts by 45 minutes to let the bulk of the rain dissipate.
I managed to ride a better TT this week, averaging 24.5 mph on the lightly rolling 3.8 mile course. For the Cat 4’s, teammates Aaron (8:48) and Bryan (9:10) managed better than my 9:18. I think we ended up 6th, 17th, and 23rd places out of 32 that started. Definitely felt the day of racing in the legs and next week I will start a 1-2 week rest period. I need it. I have had some disappointing race weekends, I might be getting burned. I am definitely paying the price for a lack of winter base training. I could use some race wheels as well, I might need to move that up the list.
A criterium down in Collierville is on the menu for tomorrow. I was originally thinking of doubling up (Cat4 and 30+), but I think the Cat 4 will probably be enough.
