Faster is better. If that happens on bigger gears, then bigger is also better. The good thing about doing evening 10s week in week out is that you can experiment with gearing and see what works best for you. There is a temptation to be a cadence snob, but the timekeeper doesn't count your revs, only your elapsed time, so if you find by experiment that an average of 60rpm yields the best times, don't let spin doctors dissuade you. FWIW (i.e., nothing) my average cadence in the last two outings was between 90 and 91rpm on 53/15
