10 mile tt this morning absolutely all out. I i approached it like a race carbing up yesterday and making sure I stayed hydrated. Up this morning pint of electrolytes and a double espresso then morning clearout 💩 then straight into a proper 20 min race warm up sipping a red bull cola. Last visit to the toilet for insurance purposes then a couple minutes bouncing around to get myself pumped then off. I went through 10k in 37:01 knocking 13s of my 10k tt time from the start of the plan. I did put a little dig in to do that and did feel a bit rough for the next k or so but pushed on rather than backing off and it passed and i managed to lift my pace once i was inside the final 2k and finished in 59:19 so really happy with that and no niggles. The strength and conditioning is definitely helping. Based on today that puts me right on course for my first sub 1hr 20 half🤞
