This was a lot colder than the quoted "80 degrees" it was supposedly when they measured it. And this was a real 800m unlike last weeks at the heatwave. I need to improve form/efficiency clearly.

I had my fastest bike split ever. Maybe the new aero bars really do help. I felt pretty comfortable the whole way and was really pushing.
