NYS Time Trial Championship
Jul 23, 2012 at 03:10 PM
It was a nice course. Not as hilly from what I expected from the area it was in. Had a good warm up and felt good. Flloyd Bennett Field type winds on the return trip though so that wasn't much fun. Wondering how I could have made up some more time to get to the podium, don't thinks thats possible though avg heart rate was 197 any more and I would have died. Would have been worth it for the poduim :-) just kidding. Doing better every year, last year I came in 10th. Looking foward to next year TT.

It's the Frenchtown Speed Team yo!

I'm calling this next one "the smile of dejection".
Jun 14, 2014 at 08:14 PM
ResBros?
Jun 14, 2014 at 09:42 PM
Hence the dejection
turns out that 27mph isn't really that fast
it's also worth adding that, if done right, 10 miles can really do a number on you

Got destroyed!
10 mile TT:
190bpm average
average cadence of 98
22mins54sec
Some peeps there were hella fast but not me apparently!
Now to figure out how to get a bit more slippery in the wind as I don't think my heart can beat much faster or my legs pedal much faster.
Great day out and suggest that everyone get involved. Great work by Vlad and Patrick for some good times.

You should not have worn booties.
Jun 16, 2014 at 02:22 AM
Ahem, with all due respect, the verdict isn't out on booties yet and I might add that the slowest guy on the Speed Team that day... chose to not wear booties.
I will also add that halfway through the TT, I had to adjust my line slightly to get around some road kill. That road kill ended up being a turtle sliced in two (seriously, and eww). I don't know what that means but I think it means no slowpokes!
Sincerely,
SPEED TEAM

no.1) I don't think this club knows how lucky it is. Most clubs don't have a TT squad, let alone one stuffed with sexy sneaker pimps like us. Kissena don't know what it's got.
no.2) I am totally digging the unoffical nickname "Frenchtown Speed Team". I was talking to Jeff W, our kit guru, and he says that there is a skinsuit (the Apex?) which promises to make me win more TTs. If I bought said skinsuit, getting "Frenchtown Speed Team" embroidered on it would be glorious.
regards,
SPEED TEAM member

PS: if anyone wants to join the SPEED TEAM, my understanding is that the entry requirements to this elite unit are as follows:
-sign up for TT on bikereg.

There is something awesome about finding the balance of not going so fast in the first 5 minutes that you die in the last 5 minutes. My watts for the first and second halves of the race were nearly even. Yes, a 49/51 split would have been ideal, but given the pull to go too fast too early, I am happy that I spread my mediocre TT skills evenly across 22 minutes. A bonus of riding the cat 4 field was getting to pass 5 guys who started in front of me. Nothing like a carrot to keep you motivated. Another motivator was not wanting to have to be the "speed team" member to have to buy coffee afterwards. I wish I could join you guys at states this weekend

Never going to win one, but the NY state champion jersey is actually pretty good IMO:
Maybe at the road race the week after....
Jun 22, 2014 at 05:33 PM
Oof
Jun 23, 2014 at 12:42 AM
It doesn't seem that anyone other than Adam and myself understand just how hard it was to only lose 7:47 to Mike Margarite on this day.
Jun 23, 2014 at 01:04 AM
What's up with the 4/5 results?
Jun 23, 2014 at 01:07 AM
They were still out on the course when ours were posted.
Jun 23, 2014 at 01:11 AM
Vlad, breaking the hour is an achievement. Plus you lost 6:47. If you spent a day a week on your TT bike and trained 350+ miles a week like Mr Weather Channel I'd bet you'd be easily riding somewhere in the range of 54-56 40k's.
Jun 23, 2014 at 01:13 AM
Yes!!! I gained a minute thanks to good teammates!
Looking to get some more time and more comfortable on the TT bike for sure Johnny. I'll be back.
