However, you're probably right about the issues with the recent bike fitting & recovery. I'd say that I rode at about 95% full strength as I didn't want to stress it too much.<BR/><BR/>And I'm not unhappy with the results. I was still a little faster and it's at the beginning of the season. Plus, I was riding by myself. Last time, there were a few others that simulated some of the feelings of racing.bradyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12422901243969548083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3102685661617062574.post-26171809276530565832008-03-18T12:52:00.000-05:002008-03-18T12:52:00.000-05:00The next question is, had you been riding your P2s...The next question is, had you been riding your P2sl a bunch before your TT in Nov? If you were comfortable during the first one, and still recovering from various bike fitting issues during this recent test, then the difference is more meaningful.<BR/><BR/>Just keep training and you'll get there.munsonedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00878330049549526023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3102685661617062574.post-78892083138655546532008-03-18T11:56:00.000-05:002008-03-18T11:56:00.000-05:0011/24/2007: 35 F 10-12mph SW winds w/16mph gusts....11/24/2007: 35 F <BR/>10-12mph SW winds w/16mph gusts.<BR/>Tailwind after turnaround<BR/><BR/>03/16/2008: 39 F<BR/>15mph SE winds<BR/>Tailwind before turnaround<BR/><BR/>Other than adding booties for 3/16, I wore the exact same gear for both TTs.bradyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12422901243969548083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3102685661617062574.post-5909680645989913042008-03-18T11:14:00.000-05:002008-03-18T11:14:00.000-05:00And another thing ...What was the weather like las...And another thing ...<BR/><BR/>What was the weather like last time you did it.

Especially if it was less windy last time - because the headwind hurts you more than the tailwind helps. Your best TT's will be on calm days.Flintstone R Cubehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09534736994621915569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3102685661617062574.post-76662181865978744792008-03-17T17:46:00.000-05:002008-03-17T17:46:00.000-05:00It'll get there.

In fact, it'd be bad to be flying already unless you had a race coming within the next month.munsonedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00878330049549526023noreply@blogger.com
