Ok, that makes sence. I do turn myself inside out on these things. It's the national 10k course. A mistake I see a lot of guys make, is to go at the same level as a local 10 mile TT. I think you can go harder because it's shorter. I went at a pretty good pace for 2 min., got my HR up to about 6-8 beats over what I normally TT at. Then checked my avg. watts, it was 365 at that point. For the rest of the race I targeted 370, weather going up or down. Then gave it all I had left for the last 2-3 min. to end with a 369 avg. Results just came out and I was good for 1st out of 50.
