Race Fans,
I was in West Palm Beach visiting family so I thought I'd test my legs and enter the West Palm Beach Race Series.
Races are held once a month on Sunday mornings. Distance is a 15k on a flat out and back road just past Lion Country Safari.
It was a beautiful Sunday morning and of course a bit windy.
My sister Erica lives in West Palm and has been joining me for some races.
Most of us who do Time Trials don't have much support in getting set up and race ready; it's a solo effort.
It's nice to have someone in your "camp" to assist with your equipment and above all provide the emotional support to race your best!
Thanks Sis!
I felt great despite a long week of training. However, this was a new race for me and I registered kind of late. The challenge was staying warm and loose as I was the 35th rider to go.
I've done quite a bit of riding in South Florida and the winds tend to pick up as the sun rises.
The wind and my "start" position were really the only factors as my fitness is coming along nicely.
There were 10 cyclists in my age group. I got 3rd. Very pleased with my result.
Thanks for your support.
Adam
