Time Trial Plan

You should plan a day of Time Trial by building on your starting time and then go backward in time. Your starting time can affect many things. It could dictate what time you need to go to sleep at night if you have an early start time.

Go backward in time and write it down like the list above! How long you need from the moment you get off the Home Trainer and you'll be ready to start. Do you have someone to help you who can pack your stuff before the start or do you need to dedicate time to yourself to achieve it?

A good thing to allocate approx. 10 min. to go for a very short spin, both before and after you are doing your warm up on the HomeTrainer with the wheel you want to use when racing. Just to make sure the gears are still functioning perfectly, as they did the day before when you tested it!
