Ebay hat purchased! This time trial business is an expensive habit, and I'm trying to do it on the cheap!

I know nothing about 50's but that sounds pretty good to me based on 20 in 1 hour?

I lost lot of time on the last five miles . I hit a hill at 45 miles and my legs just said no more . I really was in pain . That lasted on the downhill and I just couldn't get my speed up so I could ease off a bit and use the down hill as a recovery . Then it seemed to ease off on the last mile . It wasn't a great time but it was my first 50 so something to work on .

I've just been out and tried pushing on a 40 and had the same issue legs just run out of steam with about 5 to go, was running at an average of over 21 mph for probably 25-30 miles then it drained down to just over 20mph. How the big boys keep up averages of over 25 I don't know!

The fast lads are over 30mph.

1st place was 1:54:24 That was an average speed of 26mph and I was 20 . Top speed 33mph and I was 31 . All according to strava so may not be 100 % correct !
My legs still hurt BTW but I can now get off the sofa without rolling onto my front

If they could average over 30 on the route I just took then fair play! They probably could actually, we are only playing at it!

Dowsetts 34+ makes you think, but of course that was only a 10. Along with his 28 average in the nationals this week, that on the very lumpy Wolds hilly roads. Awesome to see.

I'm thinking of installing a grill in my van so the fast people can get on with cooking bacon sarnies for when the slow ones get back
