It’s my final double-page Fitness Project update already – I can’t quite believe how quickly the time has flown by! Across the cycling world, with WorldTour racing resuming, things are looking bright, almost like normality.
Since my last update, I’ve shifted my focus to time trialling, and it seems that most UK road racers have followed suit. For the foreseeable future, TTs are the most feasible form of socially distanced racing as we await the return of road races. Without any prior experience in this field – other than the CW virtual Club ‘10’ – I’ve managed to get myself ready to race again.
My first event was a Monday evening local ‘10’ near Hungerford, Berkshire, on this year’s Nationals course. After three days of tinkering with my position, allowing my body to get used to out putting power while in a TT tuck, I took on my first event. The easiest way to describe it would be ‘very hard and very hot’. Nonetheless, I loved it – and managed to place 23rd (of 88), having averaged a rather tiring 364 watts (5.8w/ kg). That seemed OK for a first result, and provided a good base to work from for the next one.

Is pro racing getting more dangerous?
There are many factors that contribute to the perceived greater risks. One that does not get any attention is the greater importance of UCI points and the need to constantly collect them to avoid relegation.
