Racing on the river time trial

He said that if I experienced any dizziness or shortness of breath during the race, I was to shut down the effort immediately. It had been raining throughout the night. Fortunately, the rain had stopped by the time I arrived in Delaware City. Temperature was 65 degrees, humidity was over 60 percent, and the wind was brisk from the west-northwest at 11 mph, gusting to 17 mph.

My warmup was the 10 mile ride to the start line in New Castle. Before departing, I swapped my front wheel for one with less shielding to improve my steering in the crosswind. I left my full aero wheel on the rear.

That turned out to be the optimum wheel combination. I started third, out of 10 competitors, in my age group. I smoothly accelerated away from the start line and negotiated the narrow streets and two left-hand corners before reaching the main highway to Delaware City. My chief rival started one minute behind me. I placed 10th in Race replay: River Towns Time Trial. I previously rode this particular century in and and finished in five hours, without the aid of companions or a paceline.

My goal for this century is to finish in four hours and 30 minutes at an average speed of 22 mph. All rights reserved. Have the right gear? Have an ideal training plan? Are you fast enough?
