Distance: 21 miles
Time: 57 minutes 48 seconds
Average speed: 21.799 mph
Result: 19th out of 43
Second time trial of the year, and my lack of fitness and lack of familiarity with the new bike was exposed here. I've done a 55 and a 53 on this course before, on my Trek (click the 21 mile label below for details of those glorious days).
On the plus side, I cycled around 65 miles in total on the Cervelo today, which is all good training - I'm now up to 150ish miles in total on the new bike. I reckon it will take a few more hard lessons like this to get me up to any kind of decent speed though. Plus, maybe I should start drinking coffee again...

Ed - Well done on getting back into racing again. It won't take long until you start hitting those times again.
I'm sure someone may have already mentiond this but you look too high on the front end of the bike.
Don't make any big changes but it might be worth getting someone to look at your position.
Hope you are well mate.
Yes, I reckon I could shift the saddle up a little bit more and lower the bars... however, the position in the side-on view is not entirely representative, as it is right at the end of the race after a soul-sapping climb.
I am reasonably well thanks! Hopefully will catch up soon?
