This was my 10th year of TT. My second year in a row that I have done all 8 races.
I have done a total 55 Tuesday Night Time Trials.
Not my fastest year, not my slowest. 2008 was still my fastest year of TT. I believe that last year, 2014, was my fastest year if you average everything, TT, tri, and du.
Below is a quick summary of the number of races I did each year, average distance, average time, and average speed. Below are all the results.
2006 (Lemond Sarthe Road Bike, only 2 races) - Ave D = 11mi, Ave T= 34:13, Ave S = 19.3MPH
2007 (First Year with Triathlon Bike, 5 races) - Ave D = 11mi, Ave T = 30:45, Ave S = 21.46MPH
2008 (7 races) - Ave D = 11mi, Ave T = 28:44, Ave S = 23.03MPH (!) - Fastest Year
2009 (recovering from stress fracture, 2 races) - Ave D = 11mi, Ave T = 30:44, Ave S = 21.49MPH
2010 (6 races) - Ave D = 11mi, Ave T = 29:59, Ave S = 22.08MPH
2011 (5 races) - Ave D = 11mi, Ave T = 29:47, Ave S = 22.17MPH
2012 (5 races) - Ave D = 11mi, Ave T = 29:39, Ave S = 22.26MPH
2013 (7 races) - Ave D = 11mi, Ave T = 30:03, Ave S = 21.97MPH
2014 (8 races) - Ave D = 13mi, Ave T = 35:32, Ave S = 21.95MPH
2015 (8 races, one long, rest short) - Ave D = 10.47, Ave T = 29:04, Ave S = 21.98MPH
This year, the first race was on the long loop, similar to the one we did in 2014. After the first one, construction forced the course to change to the original course, 2013 and earlier, but slightly shorter. I was a hair faster this year than last year, but on a shorter course than last year. Aside from 2008, my time has been pretty flat on the out and back course. Consistency!
Again, I consider this a hard training ride. I am not competitive, as you can see by where I finish.
Of course it is a great physical challenge, but also mental. A TT requires a lot of mental work, in my opinion. Focus on pedal stroke, otherwise my gets lazy. It appears that what I practice in the TT, rolls over to my tri and du biking.
It is interesting to note, the last three races are the fastest, quite a bit, also the weekend after a triathlon. Last year, the last two races were faster than previous. I must hit my stride near the end of the season.
This might be the last year I do TNT. With a baby on the way, and the wife working late on Tuesdays, it might be difficult for me to get out there on Tuesday nights. If it is the last year, it has been a good 10 year run
