I feel something is off with my training or resting or position, or maybe I just make less power on the TT bike than the road bike... My friend and my coach are saying "don't beat yourself up" - but I'm not beating myself up, I'm looking for some kind of constructive analysis with action items.
Got a pic or video on the TT bike?
How much did you ride it before hand?
Position and adaptation are crucial to a good TT. I'm normally at the pointy end of the stick but a screwed up position on the new bike dropped me out of the top ten at VOS...first time in...well maybe ever I finished that far back.
