Mine was not gradually increasing intesity though. I was spinning a low gear for about 20min or so and then a hard effort for 2min, then recovered until the race began.
I too would like to hear suggestions from others. Everyone at the races all seem to do it differently. I saw a guy that looked like he was training when he was on the trainer, doing at least 4 hard efforts. Although he got dropped from the pack early on.
