New Personal Best! Brag About That New Pb!

[Dangerscouse]

I'm not doing this on purpose, honest.... but just smashed another one.

Had been aiming at ~12600 (120W) but I felt good and allowed a little more effort as the HR was staying low - until the 40mins point. Fatigue rally kicked in and it was a mental battle to dig in. Legs were like lead at the end.

Previous distance was 12295 last month

442m is a massive amount to beat last month's PB. Well done

Boom - well done! I'm yet to attempt an hour tt...too long for this old sprinter! Well done on all your recent progress

Was pleasantly surprised with my ability to hold onto 1:08s for about 35 seconds, before the inevitable fade.

Just for context Cam, the other Cam (Buchanan) posted a max watts test on Insta; only seven strokes and he achieved 1084w.

If you're only pleasantly surprised with holding 1084w for 35 seconds, what would make you really happy?

Haha, very true!
Stunning big numbers to see!

Cheers, Martin!

Stu, what will make me happy is: 3 more months of solid training, uninterruoted by illness or injury!!!

Nick, I *think* that I'm about a split faster than I was at this time last year. Though, no titles are won in November.

First 5km done to mark my first MM since starting in may, happy to be slightly above avg in my weight and age class. Didn't really know how to pace it and may have been a tad conservative. Next target 20min!
