In talking with one of my athletes we were looking at the indoor tt in 1/3 splits. Better to go off hard and try to hang on? Better to ride for average throughout? Just out of curiosity I broke my indoor tt into thirds. My highest average power came in the last 5 minutes and

The goal was to ideally do a little better than last month and I did end up taking 11 seconds off. Upped the average power according to the CompuTrainer to 376 or 4.9 watts/kg. Had some great competition in my 3:00 start time from a couple of 30-39 riders who finished about 10 seconds behind

After the Wednesday morning hours spin and hour circuit we headed to Tennessee. I did get a late afternoon/evening ride. A little cold with temps in the low 30’s but glad I got it in as it rained all day Thursday. Took that as an off day and went to American Hustle. On Friday with
