Time Trial without Data?
I'm a 68-year-old time trialist who has been racing for about 17 years. Last year I joined a very nice group of women who are coached by 2 USAC coaches. The coaches used the free option of Training Peaks and offered advice via Skype. I used a power crank on my bike. By March I was cooked because of overtraining and too little time off. I went from 19 mph without specific training to 16 mph with the above training.
I quit worrying about the numbers, started riding again by mid summer, and added weight lifting 3 times a week in October. I should admit that my husband and I also ride 30 to 100 miles at a time, plus last year, a 140 miler. I plan to keep the endurance rides.
My question: Is it time to sell the power crank and just go at it during a TT , because no way I'm giving up all other aspects of riding.
