Testing testing

I did my first test TT today. Cool conditions, gently rolling course, little wind, on the TT bike with std. wheels and normal kit and helmet. It was very painful and humbling as usual. I averaged 22.1 mph for the 7 mile course or 35.7 kph. This is the equivalent of a 1.07 hr time on a 40 km course. I've done times that were as high as 37.5 kph in the past or 5% faster. I was completely blown afterwards so I definitely gave it my all. I was coughing and wheezing and my lungs hurt in that way that indicates you went deeper than you have in some time. Well it's only the first month of the year and the first test so lets see what the next one brings a month from now. I think I'm going to do some test 2,000m and some test 500m in the following two weeks.
