Time Trial / Time Trialling / TT

Seeing as I'm doing some half-ironman races this year, I need to get my TT on.

While I wait for my handbook to be delivered, does anyone know of any 50s in the general South East area happening this side of June?

Maldon and District - E21/50 - 27/5/2012

The book was supposed to be printed in the 20th century I think.

Now, now, they're not that far behind the times.

Just ordered my handbook.

Still waiting for mine. le sigh.

Ha. Website says they only arrived at the PO yesterday, so you'll get it today or tomorrow?

Indeed. Cheers. http://ctt.org.uk/Home/tabid/36/itemid/2844/Default.aspx

These numbers are calculated for a rider over 40kms at a time of 48minutes. Faster than most of us could go!

I find it hard to believe a skinsuit makes more difference than going from upright position to an aero tuck. Tests sponsored by Nike?

They say it's some special Nike skinsuit not a normal one?

Reducing drag from 'rippling' clothing?

Better boundary layer?

corduroy?

I get where the benefits of a skinsuit come from I'm just thinking it's a bit of bullshit they reckon it's faster than moving from upright position to aerobars. Your body in the air is a huge wind block not just a clothing ripple.

Lol yes. Sorry I meant maybe the Nike skinsuit has some special finish which induces better boundary layer?

I don't care if it has a jet propulsion engine on it.. how can it reduce drag more than going from upright to aero position? It's a bullshit claim.

I'll stop suggesting things now because I agree with you.

I've had better results in cross races this season when wearing a skinsuit. Fact!

Sexiness is next to winningness.

Skinsuit for 24 hour? I think Wilco did it..

Sexiness is next to winningness.

Which is why I "win" every race..

You win every race in my mind, Brave. #manlove
