This weekend was all about testing my legs out on the masters nationals time trial course.
When I do this race in July I will only be doing one pass at the course so 21.66k not the two passes that I did this weekend. All I have to say is wow. Tough course. I wasn’t sure what to expect from the course. I know it’s nationals and they can’t just give us a simple out and back course. I understand that. All of the time trials that I have done to date is an out and back type except for the one time trial I did in Georgia. The Georgia time trial had 2 turnarounds and a hard right hand corner into the finish line. This course for nationals has 5 right turns, a left hand turn, 9k of rollers and almost right out the gate you have a roller that has a part at an 7% ave grade. It hits you like a sack of bricks. Or at least that is what it felt like to me. The not knowing the course was killing me. The second time around the course was good and knowing what was coming up was good. Knowing the corners was insane almost not having to brake going around them was great. Some practice is needed going through the front half of the course especially through the rollers. Oh my gosh.
Time will tell for me, on this course for me.
