Sunday was my first real time trying out this feature. I put in the distance I wanted and the time I wanted to achieve. In this case, I rode Yankee Springs, so that was around 10.5 miles and I wanted a time of 53 minutes. My TT time in April was 57:57.
When you hit start, it shows two little figures on bikes (ones you and ones the computer). It will show who's leading who and by how far. It is about as close to race conditions as you can get. I did not want to lose to a little digital stick figure. I am pleased to say I finished in 52:54, just over 5 minutes faster than my race time. I would have placed 3rd in the race with this time. WOW.
This feature REALLY helped me with race strategy as well. Knowing how far behind he was, I knew when I could recovery and I knew when to pick my battles. There were times the compute was up to a 1/4 mile ahead of me. But I knew there were fast sections coming up. Sure enough, I caught up and passed.
I love this little unit.
