Charlotteville 50

Competed in my first 50 mile TT a couple of weeks ago with the main being just to get a time to allow me to enter the National 50 and to also see what they were like in comparison to 25's.

They are long....very long it seemed at times towards the end. Sitting on a saddle for nigh on two hours is a real test, as is trying to keep the speed up on what wasn't a nice day with the cold and a little wind.

I suffered in the second half to such an extent that I lost about 3 minutes on the last 15 miles.....not sure what was going wrong, but I do feel a lot more confident about the next one.

Final time: 1:53:46
