Let’s just spare the suspense. The results are out, and you can view them all here. If you’re just interested in the top spot, and where I fell in relation to that, I’ll tell you.

1st Place: Not me… 00:12:23 for an average speed of 29.96mph. Cat 1/2.
34th Place: Me… 00:16:09 for an average speed of 22.66mph. Cat 5.

The field consisted of 41 men and 3 women. Not horrible for my first time trial and certainly better in terms of time than I thought I’d do.

The bottom line is I had a blast, and I will definitely do it again. 16 minutes of full effort was hard, but the fun factor was off the chart. I even passed someone, if you can believe that! Two people, in fact, but one of them (the guy who’s been working on my bike so much lately, in fact) answered my pass with one of his own, so he doesn’t count.
