St Christies TT 23rd June

Surprised not to see a few more of you out last night - a cracking evening for time trialling, still a spot of wind but nice warm air to trawl through your lungs.
I turned up on the new TT bike having practised on it for the mile in between the house & the start line!! A bit of a tentative start - especially through Auldhouse trying to get the gears right but cranked it up along Leaburn & Strathaven Road to bring home a PB by about 1.15mins! Not sure about the actual time as the timers clock stopped but it was between 25.58 & 26.03. I'm sticking with 26.03 to avoid disappointment!
Genevieve also had a flier finishing we think in a touch over 28 mins - a PB by approx 35 secs. 27 something is very close now.
We are both pleased given that we did the Tri on Sunday & a 65mile/5k brick session on Monday so not the freshest legs!
The only other ATC rider was newest member Graeme Scott who had to go through the 'what the hell is the route' scenario but we think he still managed to come in under 30 mins which is always a good effort first time round.
More official results may or may not follow depending if they can work them out.

Hope to see lots of you tonight for the final Hamilton College swim before the summer break.
Have a think about what you would like to do instead of this session for a few weeks - I favour an open water swim but that doesn't suit everyone - any other thoughts?

Hi re your request for what to do Wednesday night, I guess the open water is a really good idea for those doing OW events to practice. For me I’d love another bike night (although I know you guys have the TT on a Tuesday). Maybe a bike/run session would be good??

Just a wee suggestion…. Mandy

maybe you should to the 10TT and that would be your extra bike session.

why don't you come up next week and help the time keeper, see what it's all about and then ride the following week if it doesn't look the most awful thing ever

From July 15th to Aug 12th incl I would prefer open water training but I can do this during the day too!
Colin if there is a chance to ride or swim (maybe run) with you during these days please let me know?
