"How hard can it be?" Training Update

Aerobars????

Maybe next year I'll add them. I've ridden big chunks of this course, but in the opposite direction, on different brevets I've done. I don't know how useful aerobars would be. I've been able to average 17+ on the shorter tris. I'm not sure I can sustain that for 56 miles. Plus this is much hillier than those two were.

I couldn't maintain that speed on a longer race either unless it was flatter, at least not if I wanted to run after. I don't find I use my aerobars much. I'm lower, faster, more comfortable, and more in control in the drops.
