Hey there Kelowna
I assume you are referring to doing the Aerobic TT on 15-20km of flat?
The reason a flat course is suggested, or that you do it an indoor trainer is because you need to keep your heart rate an even 8 beats below your lactate threshold.
Hills make it difficult to keep your heart rate even.
The step-ups you can do on less than flat ground.
If your normal TT course is a hilly one than that is what you work with, I guess. The 20km the town is a great warm up because you won't be pushing it too far.
I'm interested in hearing what you do in prep for your TTs too

Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying,
"I will try again tomorrow".
