There were several PBs, course PBs and near PBs on a warm night on the Langtons course last Tuesday. Thanks to Jane Moore for her story below:
My previous personal best on the undulating Langtons TT course was in May 2023 at 32.55. Tuesday was the final scoring ride for the Langtons course this year, and the sun was shining, could this be the day for a PB?
For those that don’t know me I am new to cycling TTs and joined WVCC in April 2023 to improve my cycling. I come from a triathlon background, where I am equally average at all three sports. Since 2023 I’ve been concentrating on Aquabike events, which means I need to get better at swimming and riding my bike. I’ve been focussing on zwifting and lots of strength training through the winter.
I finished Tuesdays TT in 32.16 and spent much more time on my drops resulting in me putting out less power for a faster time. My coach is delighted with the time, I am pretty pleased with it too.
There is still plenty of room to improve my riding and there are always more hills to attack at Sundays Medbourne Hardride.
