Hammer Time

I want to be 10 minutes faster in the Windsor Tri this year. To do that I need to cut at least 5 minutes out of the bike portion, which means going from an average speed last year of 32.5 km/hr to 36 km/hr. I think it can happen.

Today was the first day that I've really hammered it on the bike. I went from work to home in just over 13 minutes and was able to sustain 34+ wherever there were no stops. The best part is that I still have three higher gears to use.

Nick,

Going faster speed and able to sustain it is a great feeling.

For me, last summer i was happy to see myself hitting 30 kph. Now I am hitting 35 kph with ease (depend on terrain, wind of course). It feels great.
