indiana 5k and 10k TT’s

Peter Wimberg — Tue, 09 Jun 2026 10:36:05 +0000

Rode the 5k really well. Power avg on the Wahoo was 378. It doesn’t count the two turns swhere power drops to zero for a few seconds. I was only 2 seconds off my PR from 2023.

The 10k was in some heavy showers. Took the turns very cautiously. And, I’m just not pushing hard enough. I’ll make training for the 10k a priority. I should be closer to 340w avg on this. I’m getting some more rise to my Trek SC aero bars so I can get back on the saddle and breath a little better. We’ll see.

Week of June 1: Cleves and Intervals

Peter Wimberg — Thu, 04 Jun 2026 17:37:28 +0000

Rode a pretty mundane Cleves TT at 23:43. Windy and not very hot so a slow night. Also tired from the weekend 113 miles, the FTP on Friday and lifting on Monday.

Inervals today were 45 sec on, 15 sec off x 15 at 393w avg. Then did 5:00 at 343w. Getting ready for the IN 5k and 10k this weekend.

20:00 FTP TEst and 113 mile ride

Peter Wimberg — Sun, 31 May 2026 00:23:38 +0000

I did a 20:00 FTP test yesterday. Averaged 342w on the bike computer but had a few turns where power drops out so the Strava average was 323w. TrainingPeaks calculated FTP at 315w so we’ll go with that. Not too far off 320w which was pretty much my one hour power for many years.

Rode 113 miles today just to take advantage of the great weather and my impending 64th birthday on Monday.

Cleves TT Top Ten All-Time

Peter Wimberg — Thu, 28 May 2026 01:18:37 +0000

Thought I’d better post this just so that someday I can look back to see that I was top ten at one time in the 50+ year old event. I never held the fastest time but I do believe I was second back in 2009. That was a long time ago! I think I have 20 rides under 22:00. Someday i’ll drop out of the top ten but at least I was there at one point.

South Carolina TT’s and Blue Streak

Peter Wimberg — Wed, 13 May 2026 10:27:40 +0000

Under some very windy and crowded road conditions I rode two pretty good time trials in Greeneville last week. Held 344w for the 5k and 310w for the 10k. Certainly lost some power in the 25-30mph crosswinds and the turns. Good enough for two golds. Rode the Blue Streak last night in 22:15, 310w. I think that my best over the last five years is right around 22:00.

Blue Streak last Week and Intervals

Peter Wimberg — Tue, 21 Apr 2026 21:24:16 +0000

Windy night at the Blue Streak last week. Good power over the ten miles at 312w but a slow time. Set a 3.45 mile PR on the wind assisted stretch (29.7mph) but the into the wind start and finish were tough.

I’ve been riding a lot of 1-10 minute efforts at 330-350w with minimal time between, usually 20-30seconds. last week, 5×3:00 at 343w and then 1×7:30 at 310w. Today was 5 min at 310, 11×1 1 min. 20 sec between at 342w and then 10:00 at 310.
