New Personal Best! Brag About That New Pb!

Well, technically a PB - simply because it was the first time i have ever done a 100km session on the bikeerg

Any long piece like this is super impressive to me.

Thanks! However, now that i had lunch, i feel that this excercise was more a mental than a physical excercise. Well, it was physical, but mostly for my butt and my knees

Lol, well we need to train them too. A good mental test can be just as good as a physical one as well.

Sub 7....did it!!! Was supposed to be doing an interval session but decided to take a crack at a 2km TT as it was becoming something I was avoiding.

6:58.5, 1:44.6@29
500 1:41.1@30
1000 1:45.8@28
1500 1:46.9@29
2000 1:44.6@39

Avg HR 175


Wrote myself a plan and followed most of it...start steady, hold 1:46/1:47, push last 400 and stay positive. Nearly blew it after going off fast, the inner voices wanted to quit when the estimated time tipped past 7:00 but I got through that and made it . I have no doubt this had nothing to do with technique as I was all over the shop....gasping like a fish out of water .... dragged myself to this milestone.

Appreciate the help you folks have given me to get this done!!!

Woo Hoo!!
Congratulations!
That is definitely a nice goal to beat.

Last day on TTs

8532 m @ pace of 1:45.5

1:45.2
1:46.4

Was aiming for 8600, but as you can tell, was too hard through the middle and I had to slow way down. Was able to recover enough for a 300m sprint at the end.

Can't complain.

That's still a heck of a lot of meters.
Congratulations!

(Sure helps to be taller, heavier, younger, and not so lazy. )

Wow, impressive! Great mental toughness to grind thru the 18-24 minute interval and still finish strong in last 6 minutes (with a sprint at end)

1min PB - 384m - +3m

Today I had my last fast session before 2k TT on Friday, so I decided to do a fast 1min session at 95% and the plan to start quicker and then slow down at the end. It felt pretty good, the last 15sec were hard, but this way it's a good bit easier than trying to hold the pace for the whole 1min (thanks for this advice Henry ).

Time Meters Pace Watts Cal/Hr S/M
1:00.0 384m 1:18.1 734 2826 46

Don't know if it was 95% or 97% but I'm pretty sure a few more meters are possible, hopefully close to 390m. Good confidence boost for Friday

Wow...so close to sub 1:18, which is ridiculously fast. You must have been a blur at r46??

Thank you mate
Yeah, the R46 are far away from my comfort zone, but for 1min it works pretty good. Next time I'll hit the 1:17

How is your back? So aggravating short before BRIC, hopefully you're 100% fit there, all the best for that!
