Well... The Club Championship Individual Time Trial is next Saturday.

I have been working specifically on cadence, on pushing my lactate threshold, and on strength (power output).

I did an aerobic time trial on the 19th Sept - a 23km course which I first rode in 1 hour, 10 minutes and 35 seconds (averaging 23.7kph).

My PB before the 19th was in July - 42 minutes and 15 seconds (average 32.66kph).

On the 19th I rode it as an aerobic TT - which is where you ride at about 5-8 heart beats below your lactate threshold... and I did a PB - 40 minutes 18 seconds (34.24 average).

On Saturday I'll be sitting on or just above my LT for the race, so I am hopeful I can pull it together like I did on the 19th because then I should do a good time.

I have not ridden the course before, though I have driven along it a few times. It is flat, and I really hope the wind is favourable.
