First 10 mile time trial

[forty-two]

This too is my first year at 49! As I've posted elsewhere "what have I been missing" last week posted 26:36 on P901/10 and 1:13:39 (25) on P901/25,
Well done to all first timers. Standard road bike and tri bars. Mind you last weeks winner posted 23:22 on a standard raod bike. No bike porn for him. But then he is racing as an elite, and coming baxk after ingery and he claims that he dos'nt like TT's!

Well I got out last week and did my first 10. 28:27 - I was amazed to go under 30minutes! Then last night I went out again, 27:55 this time It was hard and my heart rate was right up the whole time so i'm not sure i can go any faster. I loved it and I caught the girl who started in front of me.

Do a TT, or a training session or two at a similar sort of pace, each week and you'll get faster. Or try going up a hill that takes >5 minutes to climb and do it a few times, recovering in between- I find it's easier to motivate myself to make the required effort if I've got to go uphill.

I've been building in hill repeats recently, they do seem to be halping. I will also try a few more TT's before the end od the summer. really great fun, I definetly can't push myself that hard when I'm just out training!
