An update on my latest timed (wired) 200. On a decent day, I ended up getting a 11.53. I had a good nights rest, tt's started late morning. The temperatures were rather on the cold side - 60's but the wind was mild and the air was slightly humid. I ended up having to use my clincher for a front wheel because my tubular tire had been shredded apart and haven't been able to replace it yet. I "feel" that with an aero front wheel I may have been able to do a 11.3 or so.

I stayed with a 49x13 as i'm feeling more and more comfortable with it. I'll likely hold off trying 200's with a larger gear until winter.

Lately i've been training standing starts with a 52x12 and I think it's helping my strength to push the 49x13 much easier.

I'm excited about the new announcement for the Garmin Vectors. I'll wait awhile to see what other trackies say about it, but it would be great to purchase an easily transferable power meter system.
