At least you will set a PB!

What's this thing about making a fool of self? The thing about doing a TT is
that it's you against the clock. Now, not everyone can be as fast as The
Hutch, so it's the ideal sport to do at your own level of ability. Them that
wants to take it seriously and try to get ever faster, can do so. Those of
us with fewer pretensions about our level of ability can do it to do the
best *we* can or just to keep fit. On the New Year's Day event I did, I was
second slowest. So what - I was just chuffed I wasn't last and had great fun
doing the event. It was fun and friendly, I was cheered along. At the end,
over a cup of tea, even some of the fast lads came over and congratulated me
on my first open and offered tips and encouragement to do better as the
season progresses. TTing can be a very, very friendly sport - that's my
experience of it. So what if I'm not about to be picked for the World
Champs, I'm having fun! :-)

Fair enough. I read that a time of 35 mins is 'encouraging' for a
beginner so I may just have to give it a go.

Cheers,
Luke

the TT run my club is doing, while 13 miles i think. seems to have fair
spread, from nigh on 30 mins to 50 plus mins.
