Silver at the national ITT

This is another sample post — swap it for the real story whenever you’re ready.

The time trial is my favourite discipline: just you, the bike, and the clock. No wheels to hide behind, no tactics to hide bad legs. You put out everything you have for the whole distance and the stopwatch tells you the truth.

The day

Warm-up, start ramp, and then the effort. Pacing is everything — go too hard early and the last kilometres fall apart. I held it together and came away with 2nd place.

Back to writing — you can head home to the intro post if you missed it.
