I figure that one needs to start somewhere.
Thanks, AJ. Last year I pulled a teammate and her triathlon-specific daughter to ride in borrowed kits on borrowed TT bikes on the hilliest, windiest TT in NorCal. We crushed it (we were the only ones in our category, but were close to the District Champs' Cat 4 time) and were hugely pleased. None of this had ever done a TTT before, and we had a blast!
I'd be faster if I did this upcoming TT on my own, but I want to get as many teammates involved as possible, so I'll ride with these 2 women and whatever happens, happens. I really want our team to rep and help make it a repeat event. It's so close that I could ride to the start.
But then I'd have to ride home, and that could hurt.
Good luck in your track rides! I'm smitten with track, and sad that the nearest one is 2 hrs. from here. Go fast, AJ!
