    Gutted. I know I beat my time today, and am pretty confident I was knocking on the door of last year's best time of 7.30-something. Problem is, both my computer and iPhone app broke. Gremlins.

    Your right, probably as busy as I've ever seen it!

    Much happier with todays time, worried about the headwind on my way there but almost dead calm all the way up.

    How was the ballbuster? No black ice I hope? I'd sort of forgotten I planned to do it this spring!

    Doing the climb without sleet and hail is definitely easier! :D

    No black ice but it wasn't exactly a balmy Spring day. It was chilly and some of the less well-prepared runners and riders were seen sporting the freebie hooded top on the bike ride. "One tough event," I thought to myself as I crossed the finish line with a turn of pace akin to yoghurt.

    Little traffic Saturday afternoon and can make full advantage of smoother section in middle of road.

    Does anyone do splits?

    I am 1.33 at road sign on left after first car park (before bend 1).

    Then 3.08 coming out of bend 2.

    Be interested to know other splits?

    Royal Sov.

    Was surprisingly quiet today, like Royal Sov. said. I wasn't going to make it a full-on effort, but as the traffic was light and the conditions were favourable, I decided after the first corner to give a go for the first time this year. So I hammered it a bit after that but never really made up for my slow start.

    Ended up ~20 seconds and ~20 watts off my best time on the road bike and I felt well within myself the whole way up except for the final 30 seconds when I was desperate to break 7 min! :D

    Target is 6:15 and 300 watts which being 4kg lighter will hopefully get me at some point in the season...

    My splits out of interest: 1:58 to the car park sign, 3:26 to the second corner, 6:07 to the third. Last year on my best time (6:33) I did 1:48, 3:10, 5:55.

    A week's skiing at altitude, (as well as a favourable wind direction!), seemed to have helped me yesterday. Only 11 secs off my all time PB, am hopeful now for a sub 6.30 by the summer.

    Was aiming for sub 8 minutes so i guess i achieved that. A fairly brisk southerly wind didnt help matters but im fairly happy. Hoping to crack my best time last year, 7.37 by this time in April.

    I'm not going to set the world on fire with a score like that, but I'd already done about 3 hours before it and it's a big improvement on last month. Now working seriously on the weight side of the equation thanks to some tips in the training forum.

    I'm limited on time next week so I might see if I can open my account on the Richmond Park challenge too.

    Anyone got any tips on how to pace this or are the fast guys all just knocking out a steady power output?

    More or less constant power, with a burst at the start to quickly get up to speed. My 345W for 6:53 consisted of the first minute at 398W, next 3 minutes at 339W, last 3 minutes at 334W. Not that I'm fast, fast is sub 5:30, but I'm pretty sure all the fast people will use a fairly steady power output, there isn't really anything to be gained by varying it, other than when accelerating up to speed at the start.
