How To Time-Trial

Triathletemag.com August 2010 by Whit Yost and Staff

1.  RIDE AT YOUR THRESHOLD
Find the magic point where you can ride as hard as you can for as long as you can.

2.  GET AERO

Lot’s of speed is free: scoot your butt back on the saddle, ride in the drops (or aero bars).  On descents, tuck your elbows and knees toward your bike and lower your head as much as possible while maintaining control. 

3.  STAY SMOOTH

Stay as close to others as you can while maintaining a steady pace.  Big jumps that break pace can harm your overall average speed.
