Further to the last post and the comments from Daz 'fast man' Sharpe and Turbo Man, check out the pictures below taken at the recent National Time Trial Champs. The guys in these pics are all really fast - especially Doc Hutch! All these guys are forward (probably more so than Daz) on their saddle and lower than myself, in varying degrees. I know that everyone is different and we all function in different positions but it is worth playing around with our positions. I have completed a couple of sessions on the turbo with a lower position and a narrower elbow plant. I fells ok on the turbo for up to 6 mins! Interestingly, only with the narrower elbow plant are my knees, elbow and hips all in line.
The experiment continues!!
Training has been going well. My conditioning sessions are progressing and the weight training feels good. Swimming continues to take on new meaning now that I am under tuition! I have my next 90 min session on Thursday - I am excited by the prospect of maybe........just maybe.....after 4 years of fumbling around being able to bring my swimming up to the standard of my bike and run - time will tell...................
