Time Trial Two

And the race was on .. again. Last week's `black' drink turned `white', apparently, and after having had a chance to gulp several litres of it down, the best I can say is that I won't ever have to do so again! (It wasn't that bad, really. No, really! It's all in your head, sort of.)

The wind dialed back a bit, at least it wasn't gusting as strongly as last week, and the furnace was cranked up. The temperature hit a max of 31 degrees, though the headwind on the way back to the Caltex helped cool, and slow, everyone down.

As last week, the 90km warm up was followed by the 60km time trial. The general consensus was that average speeds were higher, and so was the effort, leaving everyone as smashed as the first week. Ahhhhhhh.
