I find it pretty tough to pace myself and now blow up HR wise. Probably my biggest Achilles heel apart from lower power levels.
Here are a few graphs with HR and the relation to a negatively split power profile. Lines at LTHR, and target wattage.
Also, realize that I was trying to shoot for the (relatively) entry level TT person. There are a million more things that could be added (Which shoe covers work/don't, What UCI rules to follow and when, the benefits of aero bottles, etc) but I elected to forego those things in the original post as I think that might be beyond the scope of a racer in his/her first 10 TTs. I guess maybe an "advanced" posting is warranted as well.
