A good time for 10km TT?
Hi All,
Now that I know my time trial course is flat, I'd like to see how the local riders stack up to others around the world. The best guys in our club 10km TT are all just under 14 minutes. There are a bunch under 14:30. They all have full-on TT bikes. How good are these guys? What USCF cat-level is that, sort of? I have a best of 15:45 on a regular bike. How good is that? I don't have much else to compare because our road races are all rather hilly I'm off the back (at 100kg+) and thus never get a clear picture of where I stand. At least not any clearer than off-the-back somewhere! Thanks, Joseph |

I have a best of 15:45 on a regular bike. How good is that? Hi Joe. I get the impression you are a nice guy. This really isn't the best place for a nice guy to ask a question about his athletic performance. You're liable to get a wild assortment of advice, accurate and inaccurate. Some of the nicest members of the group are apt to address you as 'dumbass,' while some of the worst members of the group are apt to address you by your given name. It can be a confusing place before you get used to it. The answer to your question is already contained in the data you provide. Your best time is only about 2 minutes slower than the best guys in your club, who are using equipment that will give them a few seconds advantage. Keep trying your best, train hard and smart, and you'll gradually improve your time. Obviously, the best guys in the world will go quite a bit faster, and we will never be one of the best guys in the world. Try not to compare yourself to others too much. Set challenging goals for yourself that will keep you motivated. Finally, one of the best ways to improve your performance in a short time trial like this is to master pacing. Starting too fast is detrimental. This has been discussed in this forum so a search for 'pacing time trial' should yield some information. -RJ |

I believe prostitutes prefer cold hard cash, but if you've
found one that trades a good time for a tt, more power to ya. wrote in message ups.com...
