Tonight's Zwift team time trial took us to Watopia for one lap of the Downtown Titans loop, which (unsurprisingly) starts downtown, and then climbs the Titan's Grove KOM, before returning to the downtown area for a final ascent of the Hilly KOM. The usual suspects of Carson, Melissa, Shawn, and myself took the starting line at 6:20 PM.

The hilly courses that we have been doing the past few weeks have played havoc with our usual rotation strategy, and tonight was no exception. After just one pull apiece, we were into the rollers of Titan's Grove, and then the main climb. Melissa and Shawn took the lead up the hill, and then I took over to pull through the descent. We resumed our normal rotation during the flatter middle section, and then powered up the short (two minute) Hilly KOM climb. Carson took a big pull through the flat section at the top, and I took over again on the descent. The rest of the course is flat, except for one sharp leading into the Esses, where Melissa dropped back a bit, leaving three of us to power through to the finish line, where Carson unleashed an impressive sprint in the final meters.

We came in with our top three within 0.9 seconds, with a finishing time of 36:52, putting us near the bottom of our division (91 out of 118), where we've been accustomed to landing since we were upgraded a few weeks ago. Next week we'll race the Rolling Highlands route in Scotland -- come and join us!
