Sleaford Wheelers Charity 10

 I competed in this Charity 10 mile time trial yesterday. Well, when I say competed, I mean that I was there and I rode my bicycle around the course for 10 miles - in no way could I say that I was competitive.

I think its time to delve deep into the tombola of excuses !

- I didn't feel fully OK
- The brake was rubbing
- There was a side wind and I got battered
- My wheels were too deep for that course
- There was some inclines which I don't like
- I didn't have any mojo !

Pick any combination of these excuses and then apply them to my very poor time of 27.22 which gave me 55th place out of 85 on the day. I should and have been a couple of minutes quicker than that to be fair and must get my house in order ready for Tuesdays Lincoln Wheelers 5.

I should have competed in the East Leake Sprint tri today, but have binned that due to not fancying getting out of the pool in zero degrees and instead went on a club run where I feel much better - roll on Tuesday now cos I've a point to prove !
