Rough morning for Team Revolution. I think we learned valuable lessons:
1. When every single other rider at least has time trial bars, it'd be good to find a set to slap on. It's a big enough race that we don't need another disadvantage.
2. Speaking of disadvantage, we also don't need to spot the competition a full minute when we miss our official start.
The truth is, the best time trialist in America went and put the pedal to the metal (or was it medal?); Kristin Armstrong hammered this morning's race and won handily. Even pros with souped up, streamlined bikes couldn't find a motor like hers. Many did better than we did, many had some super-tricked-out time-trial bikes and helmets, I felt a little bit like the poor kid at Catholic school, but that's what we get when we hit these pro races.
Katie and Carrie are chilling for tonight's sure-to-be-fast, short crit (40 minutes!).
Til then, get rolling.
