FBF TT: Sunday June 10th

74 comments · 290 views
While Ken's performance is admirable, and it was windier in the afternoon, the TTT is about organization and cohesion, which we aren't great at yet. As you can see from the data below, I was actually faster in the ITT and put out considerably more watts.

Interesting comparison to Mike. I felt like crap (Saturday's race probably had something to do with it) but in spite of that, I paced myself well to really pick it up the last two laps and set new power records from 8 min all the way out to 22+ minutes. So, I rode hard, but man, was I slow. My bike had clip on aero bars (which didn't get me much lower than on the hoods or in the drops, so I could have done cannibal), disc rear and 50mm deep front. Regular helmet, skinsuit and booties.

My take away? Either I get TT bike with better position to make me more slippery, or come into a TT fresh and put some power numbers out that make poeple's eyes bug out, because if I went this slow with the power below, I am doomed.

The TTT on the other hand is interesting. My legs still sucked, but the numbers tell a different tale.

I spun more as there was recovery. The speed was higher, despite more headwind.

But the most shocking thing is the difference in the distance, and therefore speed numbers of me and Mike. 27mph to 25.3mph - 9.55mi to 9.6mi and then in the TTT - he had 1 more mile than I, thus the 26.4mph to 25.9mph?

I dunno, something off between our computers. I am running my data through Strava - the ITT was with GPS on, so let's see - that totally didn't help.

So, I think I did what I could do.

I just did a quick zoom drag thing in golden cheetah, my numbers are by no means perfect.

Well, try a slow drag...
Re: the dude with the Jr. on his wheel.  Word is that is his son.  I can't hate on that.  They probably expected to get DQ'd and showed up to have fun.  If I can do the same thing one day I'll count myself lucky.

Re: the first & second efforts - per my coach's guidance for Killington: a 25 minute TT requires three to *Four* times that in warmup to get the most out of yourself.  Not knowing how much warmup you guys got it might be the first TT opened you up for the second.

Re: Bug-eyed numbers (Eric) 340 watts for 20+ minutes has my eyes bugging, trust me.

not enough warmup.

Ken Harris doesn't have a son. just a developments Rider - Morkal-Williams , Sam I think.

Congrats fellas on the 1st place. 

I got the call from the Kissena Director Sportif that team Polska were getting dangerously close to the A team's time and to shut it downlap 4... 

that, or I just sucked big time.
great results all - well done!

@John - you sucked. ;-)

wait, so did I.

Nice ride by Vlad.

Was there seriously a due on a P4 there?
