CRCA ITT

We came, we rode, we suffered. Does anyone else remember how few people used to ride the ITT? Ah, good times...posting a top ten in the women's field used to be a matter of showing up.

Ann-Marie kicked all our butts, setting the mark at 29:47. The next two riders, Marie & Ellen rolled in almost a full minute later at 30:41 & 30:45. That being said, they were still a wee bit in front of us—but per team agreement, all riders have up to three excuses to be noted with their time trial time. If it weren't for those? Oh, we definitely would have been right up there!

Liz 33:09
- flip-flop pedals. Do I really need more reasons to receive a bye?!? Practically cannibal!

Nan 34:06
- wanted to be really, really certain she managed that negative split

Caroline 34:24
- decided not to show her hand too early in the season
- loosened handlebars during first lap with immense upper-body strength
- missed the memo regarding Nancy's first lap pacing—assumed she was on record-setting pace by keeping her in sight.

Ann-Marie 00:00
- gave her bars away rather than race this event

Andrea 00:00
- but she would have won the 8 months pregnant division, hands down

Emma 00:00
- park race? Isn't there a hill in Jersey to climb up?
