I surprised myself with the power I was able to hold for this TT. With my focus on the Boston Marathon, I've only been biking about two hours a week for the last three months. I knew my FTP had dropped by at least 10%, and I was shooting for around 315-320 watts.

I decided to target 330 watts and see what would happen. I ended up at 336 watts according to my powertap and 329 watts on the computrainer. I'm pretty happy with that output.

I was pretty steady throughout the TT - 337 watts for the first 10 minutes, then 335 for the last 6 minutes.

I missed out on the top spot by 30 seconds, but I'm fine with that. 3rd place isn't bad with virtually no bike time for three months!

Obviously more time on the trainer, but running has taken priority.

I guess I'm a bit biased, but for our first year event, the TT went extremely smoothly. It was a fun experience to help get sponsorship for the event, and all the racers I talked to had only positive things to say. It was a fun day, and next year we're looking to add another 4 computrainers per heat to get a total of 120 participants.
