Today was the First Annual Wahine (women's) Bike Time Trial in Kona. We met at the bottom of the Palisades and rode North on the Queen K.
Leaving the starting point at 30 second intervals, eight women who participated in the race, each rode ten miles.
I felt like I had a terrible ride, was nauseated the whole time, hit a wall at the 8 mile mark where I felt like I was going to pass out, but all in all, my average was 17.9 mph, my best ever for this ride. Those hills kill my average. I always say I need hill work but never do anything about it.
I guess if I want to do Lava Man or Honu next year, I HAVE to hit those hills once in awhile and more often starting in December.

I think your time sounds pretty good. Hills are soooo hard. Have you heard of "Positive Thinking". Maybe it will help give you that extra push. Good luck with your training Karen, I bet you will do very good with Lava Man and Honu.Hope you have a wonderful trip next week. Say Hello and Congratulations To Daniel for us.
