Thanks for your advice, everyone. I hadn't considered seated low cadence work in TT position. I had some knee problems earlier in the season so I'll be careful.

As for cross training, I'll also be doing some Yoga between now and base training. My flexability isn't bad, but I figure the extra stretching and wind control couldnt hurt, as is the ratio of men to women in yoga classas

JaRow, I've been cycling about a year and a half, and I started taking time trialing seriously about 5 months ago (when I was finally able to build up my TT bike). At this point, any improvements in speed from gear would incurr unreasonable expense. I'm pretty sure I could still improve the engine a bit. Plus, my team could use a good leadout man and stronger TT's in the collegiate A's, if I'm able to upgrade.

Do you do time trials?
