Joe Martin Stage Race TT

Yesterday was the time trial for the Joe Martin Stage Race. The course was flat for about 300 to 500 meters and uphill at about 6% for the next 3.5 kilometers. I got in a good warm-up and hydrated well with my Ion Competition drink mix. I started off a bit too hard on the flat part and was anaerobic before the climb began. I tried to recover from going anaerobic but it just was not happening up the climb. I pushed hard to the top to finish with a time of 9:47 and 122 place. My Ion-United Healthcare teammate Spencer Gaddy did a little better than me with a time of 9:32 at 113th place. The time trial was won by my former teammate Andrew Talansky. He did a time of 7:54. He really lit up the course and did an awesome ride. Today is a 106 mile road race with rolling terrain and a 9 mile climb. Hopefully we can get someone in a breakaway today if we feel good.
