Neighbourhood time trial

 Kia ora bloggers, and hello again Covid-19!

During lockdown I've been cycling a neighbourhood route, timing myself and trying to beat the previous record. Yesterday, I completely smashed that record, lowering  the time on the clock from 8:42.50 to 7:56.63. Today I tried again and came up short at 8:01.30, 4.67 seconds above yesterdays time. Oh, and before I leave, here's a maths question: How much did I lower my record by yesterday, to hundreths of a second? Please comment if you figure it out.(or anyway) Bye for now!

  1. Hi David. Fantastic blog. I can imagine you zooming down your local area. My guesstimate your maths question is......(dramatic pause) i leave this up for our class to problem solve. Why did you come up short in your 2nd results? take in consideration other factors i.e tiredness, road works etc. What are your thoughts?
