This week saw my Personal Best (PB) time smashed at the local Ystwyth Cycling Club 10 mile time trials on the Llety Gwyn course. I’d been feeling good in the run up to the day and my legs were well rested, having only done a couple of short road rides whilst on holiday in Lake Vyrnwy the previous week. I’d been reading up on technique too, and made a concerted effort to pedal as smoothly as possible whilst maintaining power throughout the stroke. It worked! I took my PB down from 29:15 to 27:49 in 1 fell swoop. My goal for the season was to get into the 28s, so I may need to adjust that to read ‘get into the 26s’ now!
My GPS plot is below although the time includes a buffer before the start and after the finish while I warmed down. The rest of the results are available online.
