More Testing

Conditions were correct for my second test TT of the year on Saturday - cool and calm. While my legs did not feel all that great as I launched after a 20 minute warm up, the results were encouraging. I took almost a full minute off the end of January time, completing the 7 mile course in 18:06 against the prior 19:01. This new time was slightly over 23 mph. Not too shabby considering it was done with standard wheels and kit. The time out was at 26mph, but obviously I was not able to sustain this sort of effort for long. This is approx a 5% increase in speed in one month, which is substantial. This effort however took a lot out of me as when I went out on the club ride on Sunday I did not have good legs and suffered the entire time.
