Time Trial - 33:07 - 43rd of 104

22 km time trial over a pretty much flat course.  This one went okay, but was nothing stellar to speak of.  not so much to say - time trials are kind of boring.  you just go hard and see where you stack up against everyone else.  i haven't been doing so much training for the longer time trial efforts, and it kind of showed.  maybe i could have pushed it a little harder, but then again maybe not.  the winning time in our category was just under 31:00 - pretty quick indeed.  a teammate of mine came in at 32:08 (22nd), so it looks like we'll try working for him in the race.  there's King of the Mountain time bonuses, stage win time bonuses, etc, so maybe we can make some money out of this race yet.  it'll be cool if i can lead him out for some intermediate sprints and what not - should be interesting - i've never really been in that position before.  road race tomorrow.  later.
