What are your thoughts on time trials? Better than normal racing, or just unnecessary punishment?

Great effort. You rode a “negative split” - harder at the finish which can be an effective strategy. Going really hard at the start and hanging on is challenging (for me)- you’re right that in a perfect world your pace would be close to your threshold/ FTP for most of the ride but it’s what works for you. Try the Bologna TT, definitely one for a potential negative split.

Good effort! Of course you'll improve your pacing in the future and the results will keep on getting better :)
Keep up the good work!

If you don’t start getting tunnel vision and see Elvis at the end you haven’t finished hard enough.

Good job man! if you feel youre very stiff in the pedals, consider getting the red cleats as they have more of a float (turn your foot a bit before it engages the unclip sequence) I find it allows for more comfort.

nice! usually people go out too hard on their first tt, i think you can hold 250 easily man!

I love TTs - The Trial of Truth. Contre la montre.

For Tempus Fugit, it's essentially a 20+ minute FTP test, and you probably want to be sitting somewhere around FTP+3% as a result. So that would look like a mix of orange and yellow, depending on how consistent your power output is. So, you're right, you probably have a bit more you can give next time.

Throw a big hill into it, though, and it can get quite technical.

Nice work! A review on the kit would be great! Branded cycling kit is so expensive. I've bought a couple from Aliexpress before but it's always a hit & miss.

Next time just ride more in the yellow. Should be doable, and like others have said that would likely be around 250W. Great ride.

May i ask what you are doing there in china? Obviously you are there for working i guess but in which business? Like mechanic or IT or software programming or whatever?

Hi! How do you get this powerbar on screen to see your power in yellow, green, red etc?
