This morning I did my usual pre-race workout with a few short efforts at LT and VO2 pace. It felt good and I’m excited for tomorrow’s time trial. Since I’ve been using our Javelin TT bike as my primary bike this past week, I had installed a PowerTap harness on it and used regular spoked wheels along with the mandatory saddle bag and pump. So before I switched it back to “TT-mode”, I gave it a good cleaning.

Then on went the Zipp disk and a deep-section front wheel and I stripped all the “extras”, save the old Avocet computer which only has a working cadence sensor. That’s right, no speedometer! I find that time trialing based on cadence works very well for me since I have a narrow range I like to keep my RPMs when going at LT effort. Power would be great, but without a way to get power and use a disk, cadence is the next thing I pay attention to.
