I race tomorrow. ITT starts at 10:52 and should take around 35 minutes. TTT starts at 1:06.

The course is flat, maybe windy, and about 16 miles.

What should I do between races?

Beer, bean burritos, whatever makes them keep you in the back.

eat lots in the first 0:30 and keep the legs warm by going for a ride.

Works for me, maybe not the best advice.

Keep riding for about 25 min after the first TT and continue to drink a drink other than water. Then stop, put your feet up, and have something to eat. Maybe even a light leg massage. Then get on your trainer and get a 30min warm up. Do as little a possible in between as far as walking.

I hate TTT's. So mentally tedious.

Doing the BUSA TTT championships this afternoon though (UK equivalent of NCAA). It's going to rain.

Road race tomorrow. I'm going to get dropped.

Whine whine whine...
