Trialling times.

Managed to get out for some TT sessions on the TT bike this week.

Felt absolutely great! Have managed a good position on the bike - and feel as if i can apply good power with a nice aero position. Unfortunately however my time trial bikes powertap was intermittently failing - when i analysed the data i had a few 4000w peaks in there.. something we'll put down to a glitch. Hopefully its just the batteries as this will be my second powertap failure in 1 year.

I'll start dialling in more tempo rides over the coming weeks as time allows it. We are still homeless which means my Saturdays are non riding/racing days as we are still house hunting...

A little bit more each day.

Hit Mt Keira this morning for another threshold session. Now a few weeks ago i could barely hold 280w up the climb, but this morning i was able to hold over 300w for the entire journey (NP 322W).

Managed to even catch and pass two riders on the way up - which always helps the motivation.

Interesting sensations have returned to the legs - out of the saddle my lungs hurt more than my legs which I find always a good indication that progress is being made.

Plans are to return and reset my 16km TT time and hopefully FTP this coming saturday - I'd really like to get up and over 300w for the entire journey and get under 26minutes.
