Sunday.....Ride....it's a TT

This morning was a great welcome back and a very good reality check. The session this morning was riding from the Chalk Hotel out to Port of Brisbane and then doing an individual 40km TT and then a ride back to the Chalk Hotel. The ride out was a very nice ride, then came the TT and THEN the ride home....it gets to the point when your butt just doesn't want to look at another bike seat!

The Stats for the day:

Ride Out:

40km TT:

Ride Back:

Session Reflections:

• The ride out was a good ride and one which was just long enough to ge my legs to a point where they were ready to be effective throughout the TT.


• I was looking forward to the TT not having done any specific Tri training all week.


• This was a new course and one which was a bit of an unknow...much like some of the course I am bound to encounter this season with many of the qualifying races. Therefore I was not getting too worried about the course itself, simple route and flat most of the way round except for a rise where the bridge crosses a road. The course was an 8km loop that we therfore did 5 times.


• Before we began I went through a brief strategy in my head, it was simple, cadence between 95-102 and don't go out too fast on the 1st 2 laps.


• Before we had even begun the wind was starting to blow, therefore meaning there would be some sort off head wind out on the course. There was one other thing that we needed to contend with....trucks...not your everyday truck...but BIG LONG trucks. All good I can handle this all in a days training........................................................hmmmm
