Flat, 12 Miles, Windy.
I loved CCTT2014. The course, at the great dismal swamp was the best TT course I have ridden. The volunteers were great and the whole day was enjoyable. I arrived with my dad early, but the line was long for check-in. My bike was already set and passed roll-out, I have not changed the gearing since last fall.
The race was located at Dismal Swamp Canal Trail:

The race starts on a strait away, and the trail is closed to cars almost everyday.
Racers were let off at 30 second intervals, and i was passed very quickly. Being the last junior to start, the Pro Women started behind me, and to be truthful, they sound like freight engines coming up behind you on their fancy TT bikes with solid back wheels. (I was riding Felix, who you can find full specs on over at the 'bike' page.)
With people regularly passing me, I thought there was no hope of me winning n my category, but I did! I was also the only one in my category. I was the only 15-16 girl, but out of all 15-16 year olds, I placed 3rd, beating one 15 year old guy.
Overall, CCTT was great, and I plan to ride next year as well.
Catch you soon,
Laney
