I was reading Jow Friel's blog and found some good stuff about time trialing efforts with power. He said that I should practice practice practice- so I did. I started near the Goon ride start and ended up doing one lap around Hains Point and then all of the way back.
The advice found here: http://www.trainingbible.com/joesblog/2009/05/time-trial-pacing.html is interesting, it goes beyond the negative split idea.
First try; Q1 was 55W below TT goal, Q2 was 18W below goal, Q3 was 10W above goal, and Q4 was 31W above goal! (average watts per split). It was tough, but I felt like I was flying. On the road bike by the way.
Interval 2: 28min.
First 7 min: 55 W below
Second 7 min: 48 W below
Third 7 min: 18W below (definitely tired)
4th and final 7 min: 8W above goal.
