I wld really be kidding myself if I tried to repeat the 30km splits logged in the 90km TT 3 days ago. Felt tired and heavy at start of ride. Could not fully recover from Sunday's long ride despite a full day of complete rest on Monday. Again, started the TT after 8km warm up. Aimed to at least average 30km/h and perhaps to raise the bar to 120km TT. Again, the weather was kind and remained cloudy for most part of the ride.

Very pleased to dip below the 1 hour mark at 30km. Maintained effort in 2nd 30km and pushed harder in next 30km. Was happy just to sustain effort and averaged slightly over 30km/h. Decided to cut short the TT after 90km and to settle for 100km TT instead. Pushed harder in last 10km and logged a higher average speed with an elevated average HR.

Rode another 23km easy and logged a total 131km by the time I got home. By then I had dried up all 3 water bottles and sucked up 2 packets of PowerGel.
