two in a row

This last weekend was the final prep before heading to camp at the OTC in Chula Vista. I had 2 time trials over the weekend, Santiago Canyon in mission viejo, and the UCLA time trial in Palmdale.
Saturday was an early wake up to get to orange county on time. With a long solid warm up I was ready as I rolled to to the start line. the race was to the halfway point and I turned the screws as i drilled it up the hill. As the hill turned down I was glad of my effort. My big gears proved too small as i spun out at 44 MPH, racing toward my best TT effort yet.
3 hrs later i found myself at another race course, the UCLA RR. After a wonderful night at the super 8 palmdale, the necessary starbucks stop, it off to the races again. Sunday's TT was a windblown 20km course in the high desert antelope valley. After freezing on the training with lots of clothes on i suffered through the TT, made worse by the cross winds that threatened to knock me over. I was able to stop the clock at 34:18, 42 seconds off last year's time, a ride done in cold but still conditions. With these performances in hand there was a stop at the vallarta supermarket in order, and hopes of a great camp and race in Canada in the coming weeks.
