This past weekend coach decided to throw me into a local time-trial in the midst of a long ride, a 30 kilometer grind called the Three Bears Time Trial Series, to test out the ol' numbers. I love jumping into events like this one, because they're very old school and down right tough.44-minutes of pushing the limits on the bike had me frothing at the mouth and wiping snot from my nose...with my tongue. (It takes valuable energy to use your hands for such a task and it would only increase aerodynamic drag!) My Powertap---the Little Yellow Devil---urged me to break new ground. And that I did, but just barely. Progress has been slow, but thankfully it's also been steady. And steady progress is the kind that won't quickly erode. Or so says coach. All I know is that I love seeing new personal bests and the hard work makes all the hurt worthwhile. The organizers are holding another time-trial on the same course sometime in May, so if I'm still in Tucson then I plan to hurt some more. But this time for only 43-minutes!

Any return to the idea of TT for Canada in London 2012??
