Yep! getting ready for IM TX! @@mlegrand

Really nice video Matt. I love local TT races - can't wait to get myself back into one. The wind did look brutal though (although hopefully that made everyone fast in one direction, at least).

Sadly there was more of the distance into the wind than otherwise. 😬

Haha. A Dutch time trial!.. people always talk about how flat it is here.. but man, the wind can be brutal

Exactly!!! There was so much wind.

One time many years ago I was doing a 40 km individual time trial. where we started at we were kind of in a cove with a lot of trees so you really couldn't feel the wind. So heading out on the first leg, I was flying, I mean I was spinning out my probably 53x12 on my TT bike at the time on the downhill... I mean I probably average 28 miles an hour on that first leg, and I'm thinking oh man my fitness is on spot... I had such a strong tailwind. Then I hit the 180 at the end of the first length of the course, and then I hit the absolute wall of wind that had been pushing me 😀... Yeah I went from going like 28 miles an hour to probably crawling back at 9 mph 😀😃😄... Yeah I didn't place well in that race 🙂.

😂 - This race isn't exactly an out and back and so there ends up being more time into the wind than with it on your back. Ouch! 😬 Thanks for watching this one!

glad it was a good turnout!! too bad for the winds!! the eddie M diverson i would do with my road bike with alloy wheels! how was your racing if you did them?

I used to tell myself “it’s only windy one way”. That was a lie😢

Yup!!! But I’m all for lying to ourselves while racing. 👌
