FRC - 10 mile TT - H10/8 Bentley Course - 25.28 PB by 31s - 9 mph SW headwind (felt less) 41st from 61 (times same)
Was in two minds whether to ride as I felt I'd not recovered from w/e, expecting 26.15. Started very fast (two gears lower than usual) and reached HR of 166 within 60s. 18s up at 2 miles, 36s up at 8 miles. Hill training seems to have helped. Earlier today I figured 25 might be my limit on this course and another side of me was saying why mentally set limits to improvement.Got my answer - definitely the latter. HR average 4 beats higher, suggesting THR is going up as muscles get more used to TT position. Beat Michelle by 14s, had hoped to be 60s plus behind!
Right arm tingling for most of ride, but no neck pain.
Good turnout from WM & CCC, next to last week on H10/8.
