Well on wednesday night i did my second 10 mile tt on the sovereign course which is an out and back sporting course which Holme Valley Wheelers use for their weekly club tt. The weather was a little chilly and windy which is the norm on this course. I got there earlier than last week so i could try to warm up a little better.
I managed to get 20mins in before i had to get signed on, then it was into my skin suit and number on. Then a final 10 mins warming up before i was to start.
I set of fast and it didn't feel that there was any wind which normally means it will be tough on the return leg. At the turn my average speed was higher than normal so i knew there must have been a tail wind. The speeds were down after the turn and on the major climb my speed was about 4/5 kmph slower than the week before. I kept a high cadence all the way and crossed the line in a new pb. so even with the headwind on the return leg i managed to pb by 7seconds. Not much but a good indicator to an even better time if i can get a night when there is no wind.
Saturday is my first 25mile tt of the year so lets hope i can get 2 pb's in a week.
