03/10/10 - Time Trial Paladru A splendid time Paladru this weekend, and a great atmosphere for the individual against the clock around the lake
organized by the club TVS. I do not know the route (the
Openrunner here on) and I thought _a tort_ that this should be rather flat ... error on the 14km course a drop of 115m anyway. Certainly it was not worth the viper, but still, what already suffer recumbent.
About recumbents, there was some (beautiful) world
- 4 female (TICA Longitude on M5, Cyclochica to perform HR Chtite Moo on a Hurricane history, Zazie in the Retro Meta 20 / 26) + other who did not want to roll (or Ms. Velosolex ICE-T)
- at least 12 men: The Viper (zokra Kouign Aman Olivier25 on TAD with advanced home DanielC & M Tica, Marcel T-Bone, Nabla speculator, Nicolas, Serge performer, Xael in Azubah Cisou in Catrike speed, MarcT & Bandicoot Flevo tandem) + Pierre1911 a spectator and photographer
The race strategy was simple: to bottom all the time, the very beautiful material to begin with, and runners who seemed sharp ... I tried to leave their pace since with a departure every 30 seconds, it can see who is ahead. My goal was not to make me double ... The course well signposted and marked (distance covered by or go was easy to follow) gave want to drive fast. After the first kilometer still not seeing too large ribs and I just whipped in the first run I was catching two runners ahead of me. I told myself that I would resume in the next side, but they kindly stayed behind .. ; The blow I delivered a blow on the second run. But that opens a car left a road and sticks in front of me without accelerating. I gasp with p (n) and I had doubled. I understand it then follows a runner ... I spend in momentum. The coasts are becoming increasingly hard, and I think back to what I said at the viper déparq "is 15-16 minutes for the tour" ... Charles you speak my counter tells me a good quarter of an hour and I still have more than 2 kilometers. Fortunately there are small bikes that look before telling me to join them. This motivates to continue a bit further. I finally get to the last corner I spotted the advice of Peter ... I am still gutted. No mechanical problems, the low racer drove well ... the driver is a little disappointed about the sudden ...
But much less the results were announced:
finally 40.6 on average and a place of unexpected 3rd among recumbents. The Viper is far ahead at over 44 km / h. .. but has completed his tour in more than 16 minutes anyway! This gives a good mind to come back next year, especially if Olivier25 me the day before will benefit from its raffle prize won at the watch and cons of going to dinner at Fat Father!
