Nutrition: One caffeine gel 15min before
Race: I estimated TT would be around 20’ so I planned to go for 400W avg.
As on every TT, I started faster to get to speed with a first minute at 490W. So I could settle down for the nex 5-6’ on the flat and save energy.
After the climb and the turn around, I saw Miles Hubbard, who started just 1’ behind me and was certainly the guy to beat, more than a minute behind, so it gave me an extra motivation to keep pushing and take risks.
I did… and almost missed a turn on the descent. Lucky I saved the crash, I put back my head down and kept pushing. As I never put the time on my bike computer during TT, I just was focus to keep the power high as long as it would take until I cross the finish line.
Averaging 402W for 21’04”, I got the win with a good 33 seconds lead on the second, Miles.
Very happy with the result, and the work I’ve done on the TT recently.
