well a thought it was about time i gave a proper distance time trial ago, and take the chance to test out one of the new hetton tt helmets ( wich look pritty cool !!! )

it was a 10 mile tt up lumley ( well just under 10 mile a think ) and the course is pritty flat, although there is a few clicks to catch you out if your not concentrating, you do two laps of the course so its good to see your split times, so you can see if you are keeping the same effort through out

i wasnt realy expecting to get a good time as i was feeling realy tired, after having hard races on monday, tuesday and wednesday

i got under way and my legs were killing me from the start, and so were my shoulders, as im not used to using tri bars. i got into a hardish gear and started plucking away, the first lap seemed to take ages, but i soon felt like a was going faster as i caught the 2 riders ahead of me. The last few miles were realy tough and i could feel my legs tying up big style, so got in a a lower gear so i could spin ma legs to the finish...

i posted a time of 23 mins 14 seconds, which is apparently pritty good for a first go. that put me in 3rd place, just behind the racin snake davo...although i reckon al be able to get a low 22 on fresh legs, and will be abit more aero when the skin suit's arrive...

mind you, there abit boring !!!!!!
