I'm finally in Boston, and the race starts tomorrow. We went out tonight to pre-ride the time trial course. My start time is 8:38:30 -- one guy goes every 30 seconds.

It's a good course (pretty rough, but good). It's got some hills, that's for sure. The steepest is probably the first, and it just keeps going up and up and up for five miles. The last two-ish miles are some slightly downhill rollers and some more downhill, and are generally screaming fast.

I rode it with my friend Nick and his teammate Craig. I felt surprisingly good, but probably pushed myself a little too hard, but wanted to make sure I got the legs going a little bit.

I've got no aero equipment at all (other than a skinsuit) so I'll be cannibal-stylin' it tomorrow. We'll see how it goes.
