June 4th FBF Time Trial...

This would be my first time shooting a time trial. Is a whole new different beast here. Personally, I am a time trial feint, as a rider. It is about your pure fitness level, the size of your engine, and level of your threshold power. Much is going on during time trialing is internal, inside the mind of the riders. It will be a challenge to actually shoot one.

Of course, being a smaller rider, although I don't have problems doing a 40k time trial, I lack the speed. Since the course is in FBF, I have to shoot the time trial with the high noon sun. Another challenge is that there will be multiple riders on the course time trialing. There will be riders lapping the slower ones. It will get confusing, even for the riders since they may lose track how many laps they still need to do. Obviously, as a photographer, there is no way I can keep track how many laps the riders are doing.

Still thinking about if I should sign up and do one myself. 11 miles. I think I can complete it under 25 minutes on my regular road bike.
