My TT today was surprisingly ok. Power was a little lower than I wanted but then again after yesterday's race I was pretty alright with just finishing the race. Warming up with a teammate we both felt like crap, no legs and when we attempted a 30 second interval it lasted a whopping 5 seconds before we blew up. In short my warmup was this: play with aero gear for 30 minutes, 6 rolling competitions with a teammate to see who is more aero and one 5 second interval. Somehow, that worked fairly well. Legs came around right out of the gate and held a fairly consistent power, just enough to open them up for tonight. Overall, not a phenomenal performance but was good for the legs.
Crit goals for tonight:
1) stay safe
2) survive to make the time cut
Yes, in that order.
Time: 25:23
Stage result: 114; 3:31 off the leader
GC result: 126; 37:40 off the leader

I'm even more impressed that you posted that TT time while stopping to take a picture of the llama.
