TT TIME
Did you know…
Triathlon/Time trial bikes are capable of riding in all weather conditions and over flat, hilly and undulating terrain…
Are you?
Jokes aside, if you are training for middle or long course triathlon and you are riding less than 6-8hrs a week over 3 or less rides then the majority, if not all, of the riding should be done on your TT bike. Especially in the final 12-16 weeks before race day. Time in TT position is the obvious reason but softer skills such as gear changing and postural conditioning also come into play. As a general rule the more frequently you ride and the more overall ride volume you do the more you may consider adding in some riding on other bikes – road, mountain, cyclocross etc.
We all have limited time, make the most of it.
