Video - me starting on the far side.

My time 1:23.98 in a 94 inch gear - totally disappointing, legs felt like lead.

1 - 200 = 19.31 seconds
2 - 200 = 14.40 seconds
3 - 200 = 15.68 seconds
4 - 200 = 16.88 seconds
5 - 200 = 17.71 seconds

Started strong and faded badly - could not control the bike at speed in a 94" gear (49x14) in my new setup, the front wheel was unstable or my core muscles were weak today? The regular Mavic ellipse spoked front clincher wheel at 140 psi gives me better control as opposed to the deep V sections or tri spokes. Today I used a deep V (80mm) rim in the front. In retrospect I think a 92" gear (48x14) with a Mavic ellipse front clincher, with the same configuration, would have yield a better time. Only one shot and so many variables to play around with -dam! Last year I did a 1:20.80 with a 98" (51x14) on opening day.
