ATTA 40k

Another step in the right direction after the 40k TT in Wandi on Sunday.

The goal going into the race was have a hard hit out after a big week of training and try to average over 40km/h.

After a very unsucessfully start I managed to achieve this. First I had to disconnect my back brakes as they where rubbing on my race wheels, but not the wheels I rode down on. By doing this I missed my start by 30secs. Then my bike computer fell off after 500m which I decided to leave and pick up after the race. But once I got going without the bike computer and rear brakes everything else went to plan. Ended up coming 4th overall and an average speed of 40.22km/h. So without these rookie mistakes at the start I still was only 1 min off first place. However most of the stronger TT riders either competed in the 80k or the Kalamunda TT up the zig zag.

Unfortunatly this was the final TT of the season. But this also means the start of the running season with many good WAMC races on in June to look forward to.





Thanks to Chris Ratty for the photos and also for bringing my race wheels and helmet down race morning.
