BUCS 10mile TT Champs

On Saturday I won the British University 10mile Time Trial Championships near Oxford University by 40secs. It was the first time a have competed for my Uni, St Marys so am really happy to come away with the win.



The course was pretty good, it was basically up a dual carriageway and back down the dual carriageway, it had quite a few drags so was quite a hard course.

This being my first time trial of the year, I was quite nervous as I wasnt sure how I would go. I got there quite early so I could drive the course and park up near the start to so I didnt have to ride the 15mins from HQ to the start. Did a really good warm up and legs were feeling quite good. I started really strongly and within the first 5mins I had caught my minute rider, then not long after I caught my 2minute rider. The first half when really well, it wasnt untill 3/4 of the way through I started to suffer quite abit for the fast start, I had my 3 and 4minute rider in sight all the way back and caught my 3min rider with about 3mile to go. The last 2 miles really hurt but I kept pushing on and finished with a time of 23mins 30secs, which got me the win by 40secs.

I was given a Cole disc and tri spoke to borrow for the race. They were really good, nice to ride!

Next up :- Bedford 2day this weekend then lots of training for the RTTC National 10 on the 21st May.
