First '08 race

The racing season started on Saturday with a time trial near Fort Collins. I've only done one other time trial before, and this was my first one using aero bars. This was only my third time on aero bars and I'm still messing with the position on my bike.

I don't know what exactly happened, but I couldn't seem to produce any power (even with the sweet TT helmet I borrowed). Maybe it was the lack of experience on the bars, maybe it was the killer wind, or maybe I was just having a bad day. For the most part, I was 30 watts under what I know I can do for that kind of length. Very frustrating.

I went out again on the aero bars on Sunday to see if I could make some tweaks to the position. We'll see how much it helps the next time I get out for a TT-like effort.
