TT Results

Well, the TT went exactly as I thought it would. I started out at 335 watts then bumped them up to 340 once we hit 10 minutes knowing I would only have another 5 minutes or so of suffering and I ended up averaging 343 or 345 on the Computrainer screen, not exactly sure and my SRM died on me before the start so I have no power data. Nothing like shelling out $2,500 and the damn thing doesn't work. I did have my trusty 310xt to gather the HR data. Which once again confirms the training zones we set up a while back.
St George is coming up quick, with Hyannis next weekend and Oceanside in 5 weeks, race season is pretty much here.
But for now its back to work with a big 4 week block of training.

Boston Triathlon Team Indoor Time Trial

I have been looking forward to this race for a few weeks now and its finally here. 6.2 miles completely on the rivet, while trying to ride the predetermined power number as even as I possibly can - not an easy task - and of course the SRM will be downloaded, graphed out and graded on how even I rode the course.
My game plan for Computrainer time trials is to know within 10 watts what I can average for the race distance. Once the gun goes off I'll get the average up and then hold on for dear life. Just like racing out side I will try to keep my max watts to + 50 of the current average. Once I hit the last few minutes all bets are off and its time to let it hang out and see what's let in the tank. I can assure you it won't be much.....

I'll report back tonight how things went.
