Not a great time but power was ok. Overall, 333 watts, 90 rpms and 27 mph. First half was 335, 28 mph, second half was 336, 26.5. That turn really knocks it all down a notch or two. Definitely shows that doing the hour strength and plyo class on Monday night is detrimental to a […]

An endurance effort but I couldn’t let that one minute effort unresolved. Added a few more watts to the record with a new all-time best of 614. I think 620+ is possible. Not that that is in anyway critical to my time trial goals, just personally fun and motivating.

Took three days off the bike after the century on Saturday. Started back today with two classes and headed to the mountains to do some hiking and biking. Good to have the break after a season of races and big miles. Will have more coming up interspersed with interval days. 

Due to the rain I rode inside for a couple of hours. I was going to go for a new 1 minute PR (611+) and did some build up to that but 32 seconds into the minute I was at 630 so I bailed on it thinking I had to actually be closer to 640.

I do think that in time trials the higher wts/kg given similar aerodynamics does win 

A good day in Kentucky. I rode the 5k in 6:27, one second off the course record and a personal record (for that course and any 5k) and good for the gold, but just by 2 seconds. There was a rider from Louisville, Curt Tolson (42 national medals on the track), who rode very well.

Feeling well rested for tomorrow. Hopefully I can get close to my previous times of 6:30-6:40 and under 14 minutes for the 5k and 10k respectively. Its a pretty fast course, especially the 5k as it has no turns. Certainly have a competitive field with some great KY riders on the start list.
