Conditions were good for the time trial. There was a bit of a breeze, and a
bit of a tide, and it was nice and sunny. There were three of us doing 2 rounds
of the False Creek 5km loop.
About a third of the way into the first loop I managed to find and keep good
upwind rhythm, and then turn at Science World and find and keep a good downwind
rhythm.
All told I'm pretty happy with the way it went. As Calvin put it, I should
have stopped paddling to suck back a power gel when I was already moving,
instead of when I was turning around and essentially stopped.
I haven't seen the posted results, and I didn't time myself, but the number on the time sheet was "57:11?", which would be good.
