another time trial challenge

i always like to get out and put a time on the board when i join a challenge. since it had been a few days since i opted in to steve p's 10-mile time trial - www.dailymile.com/challenges/1777-10-mile-time-trial - i decided today was as good as any day to give it a whirl.

i warmed up for about 15 minutes then put the hammer down. i pedaled three miles into a fairly strong crosswind that was partly in my face. then i flipped around and raced back home, trying to stay on the road while the wind urged me to play in traffic.

i stopped the clock just inside the city limits of argonia at 29'59". not quite fast enough to take over first place from steve p - www.dailymile.com/people/SteveP4 - but good enough for a first go round. now i've got almost a year to better my time.

my cool down was a nice easy 3/4-mile spin through town. (14.78 miles @ 18.3mph)
