I am rearing to go for The Texas Tim Trials(TTTT) in Glen Rose Texas! Now here's some background on the event. It's an ultra endurance cycling event. It's an event that most cycling folk don't know about, even here in Austin, only 3 hours away. The event is capped at 200 participants. The participants come from all around the US, and there appear to be a couple people from France this year! This is a RAAM qualifying event for those that do the 500 mile distance races. Check the TTT website if you want more details.
I'm really excited about the event. And after tapering and forcing myself not to ride too much this week plus not riding today, I'm very eager to get on my bike tomorrow evening! Plus the weather is looking nice and cool. Might be some rain, but that's no problem so long as there isn't torrential rain! I do have some motorcycle goggles for this though. :-)
There's a lot of unchartered water on this event for me, but I'm ready. With the miles that I've put in this past month, biking daily to work, researching nutrition, doing test rides getting used to eating and biking, great coaching and fitting tweaks from Tempo Multisport, and getting to talk with people that have done this event before and getting support from them, I'm ready!
I'll write about my ride and my experience, but if you want to track things as they are happening follow @tt24tt on twitter. They will have a couple people tweeting things during the event.
