Calga - 25km TT - PB!
40.58m av hr 170bpm.
Chopped 2 minutes 30 off last months time, and 30 seconds off my previous best ever time.
Had a few extra aerodynamic goodies this time around: 85mm tubulars front and rear, Limar Speed Demon aero helmet, and tossed the final 2cm spacer under the handlebars, so the bars were right down as low as possible on the headset.
Felt ok on the way out - no power data so I was just hammering away at an uncomfortable pace - but never in the red zone. Got to the turn around in 22minutes,had a slight head wind on the way back and was already starting to fatigue a little as I couldn't turn it over as much as i would have liked to on the flats/downhills. Still, I got to the finish in just under 41minutes, completely shagged.
I don't think my power output has gone up significantly, i'm attributing most of the gains to the aero-toys that I have. Any further improvements are going to come from hard work. I would dearly love to crack 40 minutes before the end of the year, that would be a _massive_ milestone. I need to do it within 2 months to succeed.
More TTI's and some specific 2x20min intervals coming.
Happy daize.
