How to take the record

  • Pick the day, not just the legs: wait for a south wind. On a flat road a 20 km/h tailwind is often worth more than 50 extra watts.
  • Ride it fresh: warm up, then start the effort at the segment start rather than carrying fatigue in.
  • Pace it evenly. Going out too hard costs more time at the end than it gains at the start.
