Time Trial Splits?
Just did my first 25 Mile Time Trial last Saturday. This was on a 3 mile course with a (less than 2%) uphill grade on the western side of the course. Don't know whether these are good splits or not? Your thoughts?
Lap 1 0:12:06 Lap 2 0:11:11 Lap 3 0:10:14 Lap 4 0:09:55 Lap 5 0:09:41 Lap 6 0:09:23 Lap 7 0:09:25 Lap 8 0:09:13 ___________________ Total Time 1:21:08 Average Speed: 17.75 mph |
It depends on your age, how long you have been riding, the wind that day and a dozen other factors. Serious TT guys (Cat 1) will do a 25mile/40km in 50-55minutes or faster. Most people would be happy with something under 1hr 10mins. Averaging anywhere over 21.8mph/35kph is good. Keep working at it, the times will drop quickly.

I'm planning on doing a 10mile tt in a couple of weeks, never done one before though. What type of time/ avg. speed should i be looking for? I've been riding for about a year now/

I would second road warrior. Looks to me you could easily get down to the 70min
range over a few months. After that you would have to start riding with a group that tends to stretch you a bit, makes you work, and a bit of coaching might help. Although it is not strictly necessary to ride much more than 25-30mi to train for a TT, the knowledge you can do 50-75mi and not feel to bad, makes the 25mi TT seem easier. Circular course tend to neutralize wind more than out and back courses. Steve |
