Contre la montre...

In French: contre la montre - literally "against the watch" Time trials are also referred to as "the race of truth", were winning depends only on each persons strength, endurance and determination against the clock.
Today at CrossFit Jordan, Drew and I had a time trial series. We raced against the watch in 5 events: 400m sprint, 100 push ups, 100 squats, 500m row and 50 ball slams. Each event was timed separately of the others, which allowed for some rest between each event. This workout was very demanding and the order of events became a very crucial matter.








Here is a video of the 1989 Tour de France Final Time Trial. Lemond and Fignon battle for yellow jersey. Lemond is using triathlon aero-bars- the first used in the tour!!!
