I competed in the Dalby Triathlon last weekend in the Business House Teams (7km ride) and the Mixed Teams (20 km ride) events. It was a really good chance to test out my time trial bike and I am very happy with how I went.
We came 3rd in the Business House event and I did the 7 km ride (rack to rack, so not sure about actual ride time) in 10:55. I was pretty happy with that. I didn't get to see an official time list, but am almost positive that was the fastest bike leg by a whisker.
We won the Mixed Teams event and were actually the third team over the line. I did the 20 km in 33:27 (officially, from transition to transition). That is obviously not a great time for 20km, but it was incredibly windy which knocked everybody's times around. The fastest time in the teams events was a 32:01 (by Wes Keep, local triathlete) and the guy who won the male individual (who I think is a pro, or at least a very elite triathlete) did a 31:59.
I guess all in all a pretty good day. I now know where I 'am' in terms of my time trialling and as I said, the new time trial bike is very, very nice.
