Crank the Kanc hill climb TT
a 21.5 mile ITT with the first 16 being 3% avg and the rest averaging 5.5. There was an 18 mph headwind (followed by a 40mph lead out and a max sprint of 52). I hit my expected finish time with 1.5 miles to go. Ouch. Still I rode IAB to the climb, didn’t carry a bottle, and was totally within target power. 40 second off fifth overall, meaning I didn’t get paid. Finished third on the 45+ behind a masters national TT champ, and a guy who podiumed overall at MT Washington. I was the first finisher not on a TT bike.
Third race ace of the season. Two firsts and a third. Northeast hill climb series leader. They are modest achievements for sure, but I’m pleased and at ease.
