Out to Homebush for a 2000m time trial. I was pretty nervous about this, mainly because I've been foxing around for the past 3 months not doing sessions at full bore or racing properly so had no idea where my form was really at. I did this TT with the Tiger and Tom Hurley in 2010 in 5:51, shortly before running JPMorgan in 17:52 and State 3000m (while slightly under the weather) in 8:59.
Gary reckons its a great session that yields most benefit 2 weeks later, so the timing was ideal and the plan was just to nail myself. He wasn't feeling 100% so agreed to pace me at 70s laps for 3 laps. There was a nasty headwind down the back straight so I was secretly hoping it would be 3.5 laps, and fair play to him, he came good. Laps went as follows:
68, 2:18, 3:39, 4:40, 5:51.2
Very happy with that. Had to dig deep on the final lap so hopefully will do some good. I'm almost keen to try it again next week...
Many thanks to the Tiger who looked super smooth and provided perfect pacing.
5km warm up/down for 7km (!) all up.

Superb TT in windy conditions suggests your still capable of Sub 9 which you should do and hang on to doing them for as long as you can - your not getting too far off your Dads age/PB's. Any plans to race on the track?
Cheers Dave, always appreciate your views - especially when relating to track.
