Time Trial notes...

Did a 10mi TT last week.. raw data supported what I knew: I'm fine.

Right at or above last year's June/July power so I'm doing well. No aero gear for this, just wanted to know power.. Did ok too, results up at http://vbc-usa.com/time-trials

The big thing is to have one ride a week like this, and the rest of the rides are simple, solid endurance rides to maintain what I have for racing. The other sign I'm coming along is that I get back on my Mtb and raise the seat ! Raising the seat for me on it allows me to really climb well in the summer.. In the winter, lower seat equals more control in Forest Park. Also because I'm seated a little bit closer to the BB on it I get a "near" TT work out, I can feel it on my inner thighs the way I can after intervals at Sauvie.

Today was out on a recov ride (did a good 70miler on Sat) and punched in all time best 10min power heading up Logie Trail Rd. This was not my intent, it just happened. My legs did feel a teensy flat at the track tonight though! :)
