Race report

VCM was a half marathon course, so had to do it twice. Lots of points of runner interference on the 2nd lap, not to mention the broken brake cable for the last 5kms. Also, lots of runner traffic during the last 5kms on the bicycle path to the finish. That said, finished the race without any other incident and came in under the Boston qualifying requirement of 2hr30min.

Worked with the Green Mountain Bicycle Club - Jim Stover and David Rath - for the preview ride and with Jim for the marathon ride. Also joined with another bike volunteer for the 2nd lap.

Avg speed: 28.96kph over 40kms. Second 40km TT.
With Bob McGillvray. Mixed cloud cover, light head wind, temp 25C.
Key observation: few seconds off the first 40km TT. need to become a lot more consistent at maintaining target power level. Some may be an energy issue but it is mostly an issue of consistent power output over periods of time. Same issue as in the 15km TTs. Winter training focus will be on endurance/base building.
