5km TT and Corp Cup

Another hard 5km TT last night and should have done better than a 3 second improvement on last month, with an 18.43. Forgot the Garmin so was running blind, which was quite pleasant for a change, with just the time being called each 400m by Clyde. Started off too hard with an 85 lap and then just managed to hold 90 sec laps for the rest of the set. Only 7 of us out last night, so second last again with a fellow Scotsman from Wick doing a sub 16.
Wasn't entirely happy about backing up for the Corp Cup today and the legs felt tired on the run up so wasn't looking forward to it at all. Saw Derek at the start, so all hopes of a an easy-ish one went out the window. Felt ok on the first couple of kms but dropped off a bit on the last two while still trying to hold on to Derek and Pete Walker. Very surprised to come home with a 23.15, second fastest time ever, although a slightly shorter course. Stats for today are at http://connect.garmin.com/activity/370381408. Not really looking forward to another speed set tomorrow but won't be out Friday or Saturday as Anna off to Melbourne for a 25 year school reunion.
