I purposely had the computer showing distance and speed only. It also shows an up or down arrow to show if you are above or under your average speed, so my plan was to just watch the avg and the distance, try to hang on until mile 10 or so then let it all out. For whatever reason I didn't want to know my time, now I'm kind of pissed that I went that way. Oh well....

Once or twice a year I do a short (20k) tt. Been IM training for last year and a half. Maybe after this year I'll start focusing on the short stuff.

Not much to say, 12.5 mile TT, flat, some wind on the last 4-5 miles. 20th overall, 29:02 (I had my computer set to distance and not time, if I'd known I was that close to going sub 29 I would have found those 2 seconds) good for an avg speed of 25.83 mph.
I was happy considering I was in triathlon gear and most roadies were in skin suits and shoe covers. Also since I've been doing nothing but IM training, meaning mostly long steady rides, it was hard to switch over to a 30 minute all out sprint. Amost a 1 minute pb from last year at the same race in the same conditions.
