Not so much. It was a solid effort, but mildly hampered by howling headwinds/rain/fog in SF, a couple of flats, Steve's faceplant on SCT, and a bit of miscommunication. I didn't know that "TTT" meant "Trinh Time Trial", which means "surging off the front in an attempt to weaken by repeated accelerations the other riders". Clearly Nils and Trinh are in league under the aegis of Team Bubble Up.
But I never make excuses for weak performance (much), so I have to chalk up the failure the wimpy riding by all but space, who gamely attempted to go as slow as the rest of us, but alas failed.
stats:
- 2:07:10 rolling time from sloat/GH
- 19.8mph rolling avg.
- ~50% attrition
with marius, nils himself, and some teamwork I think <2h is definitely possible (from sloat).
