50s should be ridden like 25s. You'd get your 2min if you rode harder. Worry about your position once you've got the pacing right.
hippy-
I've never ridden a 25 so hard to know how I should ride those...like the first half of a 50...?
Sunday was a test of if I could sustain 85% for 50 miles and still run, which was successful, as previously the most I've tried is 200watts for 3 hours, I also learnt I have more to give, especially if I'm not running afterwards, and I know there are lots of minutes here and there to be had with moar power, faster wheels, slightly improved position and arguably more favourable conditions although I quite enjoyed it on Sunday, buy I may as well try and grab as many at once and move from middle of the pack closer to the competitive end!

Interesting, spent the whole of Sundays TT just below that range if I have my FTP right...

must push harder next time, but i'm still only just really learning what i'm capable of in a TT, so I know next time that the power I averaged is a baseline, and can push on another chunk!
