Time Trials SUCK! I went in to this one knowing that but was determined to do well anyways. I did not succeed in doing well! It started out with the never ending 6 mile stretch in to what felt like a steady head wind. Then a turn in to more wind. Then a turn in to more wind. It did not feel like the wind ever let up. Then about 35 minutes in to the ride I started to feel dizzy. A couple more minutes then the nausea kicked in. Another mile or two and I started getting the chills. Now that was a weird feeling! Riding along, I could feel the heat from the pavement and the warm air. Yet I still had goose bumps and a chill.
I kept on riding and pushing as best I could, but I was not doing well at all. It took everything I had just to make it back to the finish line. Once off the bike it took a few minutes before I could actually stand with out holding on to something.
I can not remember ever having to push myself that hard for such a horrible result. I think my time was right at or slightly under one hour. That's a horrible time especially for what seemed like such a hard effort. Maybe time trials just arent "my thing".

Sounds like you weren't properly hydrated. But I don't enjoy time trials either. That was hard.
Whatever it was it wasnt good! If I do another one I might try the camel back pack.
