Um6970,
1) I used a heavy gear because I CAN NOT SPIN!!! When I did my first TT, my butt was bouncing all over the place because I was spun out....
2) That gear was ONLY used for the TT, I rode 49x15 for the actual sprint tourney.
3) As I have said many times, I am old, fat and out of shape. I have put under 100 miles in on a bike this year. I am 6'3" and 220.
4) I have owned a road bike for less than 2 years, and probably have a total of 250 miles in.
5) Did I tell you I am a fat guy who can not spin?
6) My road bike has 180mm cranks...my track bike has 170mm cranks...have I told you that I can't spin yet? I have probably put in a total of 70 miles on the track.
7) Who is coaching me? No one....I get to the track a couple of times a month(10 times in my life)...have been on my road bike once this year(5 miles or so).
