But the "form" of doing essentially tempo/endurance for 4.5 hours is a lot different than going endurance for 3 hours with random 600 watt surges.
Oh yeah, I've come in literally DFL in the 3 time trials I've done this year. that is all I've seen in terms of bike racing.
GMSR here i come**********
that doesnt seem to bode well for a podium result in a half IM then does it? (legit ?, not intended to be dickish)
also, glass half full perspective: maybe the stress to your system from the GMSR will be sufficient overload that with proper recovery will result in a "supercompensation" effect and you'll be that much more ready for the half IM.
