This fall we wanted to train well in early November so we spread the four races over two weeks. This allowed us to get in the Time Trials and train 12-15 hours/week. The goal was to train well and get race practice. Today we had our final TT, a classic sprint race.br /a onblur=”try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}” href=”http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_H2SCM3lmKm8/SwXIuImGFJI/AAAAAAAABmM/yiSb89XrZoQ/s1600/IMG_0954.JPG”img style=”float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;” src=”http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_H2SCM3lmKm8/SwXIuImGFJI/AAAAAAAABmM/yiSb89XrZoQ/s400/IMG_0954.JPG” border=”0″ alt=””id=”BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5405947622634951826″ //a We used our double pole test as the prelim and then had two heats.
