May as well post 2016s targets here as well:
Race less, race longer
25mph+ average for the BBAR:
27.5mph average 50 (<1:49:05)
26.5mph average 100 (<3:46:24)
22.5mph average 12hr (270 miles)
That gives me a BBAR average of 25.5mph, so there's a bit of wiggle room.
Achieved by:
-At least 10w on ftp (by actually training properly, rather than slacking off and just riding my road bike all summer)
-Getting CdA down to ~0.190 (currently 0.195ish, new bike will help but most of this will hopefully come from a sprinkling of Aerocoach magic).
-Stop eating whatever I want and and losing a couple of kg (typically hover around 74kg, there's an easy 2kg that can come off that and more if I really try. Benefits of weight loss have been well proven by several riders this season).
Big targets perhaps, but I think they're achievable. There's a few other course specific targets that I'll decide on when I plan my race season. A 19 would be nice but means travelling to a fast course on the right day and not too sure I can be bothered with that, e.g. I'd have probably done one this year if I'd ridden the V718 a fortnight earlier than I did.
