Cassandra, you wrote “Can you share some of your training techniques and such? I'd enjoy hearing about it from someone who is an accomplished TT'er.”
Well…. Thank you for the compliment Cassandra, I don’t really think of myself as an accomplished TTer – yet… I’m more of a rabid wannabe!!!
I have thought about your question, and have started a thread in the Tips and Tricks forum for TT ideas and suggestions… That way the TE TTers can pool ideas and experiences specifically about what we do or have tried that works or doesn’t work…

SheFly! Sorry I haven’t been back in this thread for a while! I have read your response quite a few times but just not posted!
Thanks for the well-considered, constructive feedback. You are right about over-thinking, but I like to time trial so much I think it is prolly inevitable!
You write: “When I am on my TT bike, all else is irrelevant. Me, my position, my power, my bike and the road are all that matters.”
Yes, this is how I am… but unlike you, I don’t try to increase my power output if I am passed. The key for me is not to get thrown out of my rhythm or blow my heart rate when passed.
It is so much about headspace, isn’t it?
Trust you have enjoyed the TTs in 2006 and are looking forward (as I am) to next year’s racing. c
