Ryan Perry fastest from Matt Bottrill in the AndCC Open 23.5 mile time trial on the A25/2 on September 18
Result: AndCC Open 23.5
Matt Bottrill Report
After a year away from not haven ridden a time trial, I decided a few weeks ago it was about time I entered one to see if I still had it in me to ride one. So entering a local 25 I thought would be the ideal start.
The start sheet turned up and to my amusement Ryan Perry, was down to ride – the National 25, 50, 100 and circuit champion. So I knew I was going to have to be on a good day.
At the start of this year, my power took a real battering. Over the last few months I seem to have found my feet with all the training for swim, bike, run and it’s been great to start feeling stronger on the bike. I know I’m not as aero as I used to be with putting the muscle on from swimming but I thought to hell with it, I’m going to see what I can do.
After last weeks 70.3 race I’ve been pretty tired all week so I backed off the swim and run training and put my efforts into the bike. So come race day I knew I could be fresh.
So the morning arrived and my start time was 10:10. I had a good warm up and could soon see I was feeling really good. So on the start line I took a deep breath and was soon up to speed and hitting 30mph. It felt great to be starting fresh and amazing the difference at the speed you travel!
The power was consistent along with the speed I was AV 29-30 mph. I was worrying I was going to blow but it never seemed to happen. A time check at 5 miles to go and I was 30 secs down! So knowing there was not much I could do at this point I just gave it everything I had and stopped the clock at 48:22. The course was shortened to 23.5 due to road works. I have to say I was happy to be within a minute of Ryan at just 38 secs. Proves all my hard work is starting to pay off.
Once the bike was completed I put the trainers on and hit a hard 5km run a new PB of 19:43 for a decent run off the bike. Next stop East Leake tri, it was my first ever one so will be good to see if I’ve improved since March.
