NVGP Day One

Today was the time trial along the river in downtown Saint Paul. The big guns were out in force and the top times were mid 8's for a 4.5 mile course.

The weather was in the 80's with very high humidity (compared to Montana). I was pouring sweat just warming up on the trainer. It was hard not to be intimidated when warming up and Ivan Dominguez, Dany Pate, Gord Frasier, Greg Henderson and numerous other champions are biking by.

I went out and pushed as hard as I could and ended with a time of about 10 minutes flat. I felt satisfied with the result and I look forward to racing tomorrow. Having pushed hard today I feel much more confident going into tomorrows suffer fest. I always ride better the day after a hard effort.
