VTTA NATIONAL 25M TT CHAMPIONSHIPS - Newark - 28th July 2018

4th Overall & 2nd on Standard (National Silver)

Super windy conditions (come back Summer) at the National Vets (O40) 25m TT Champs - struggling to hold 25mph into the headwind, but spinning out at over 35mph average on way back with a top speed of nearly 50 - recording 52mins 30secs giving 5th overall but shaded on the National Champion gold medal (age adjusted) by 11 seconds - but no complaints in losing to Simon Beldon who recorded a remarkable sub 50 mins in those conditions ....chapeau!

That’s National bronze and silver now this season, with one opportunity left....hoping of course for a complete set. 
Kicking myself though for not reading the lowdown (see photo) on special guest, Mick Ward....belatedly learning Mick was both an outstanding cyclist and then runner (2-45 marathon at 60 ) as myself but in reverse, would have been interested in his experiences and comparisons....between the two sports.....Rest time now and back to basics 😴👨‍🎓
