Harry slashes a whole minute off his ITT Personal Best

18May2012

We have been coaching Harry for all of last year. Brendan's been working with him since our first RaceRight camp. We have a Individual Time Trial course that we test people on. Here are is the e-mail from Harry with his times from the last four months. It's a great result to slash a whole minute off such a short course. Well done Harry that is a huge achievement! It's also an important tip. Have a benchmark in which you can measure your progress. It could be a hill climb, a ITT course or anything that you can consistently measure your progress against. In my early days I used to time myself over a 8km flat course. Now I have a specific hill climb that I use to time myself climbing and guage my fitness.  

Hi David,

Here are my times for the Yarra Blvd ITT:

11:43 & 11:47 Sep 4
10:56 & 11:02 Dec 16
10:32 & 10:38 Jan 8

It's a funny thing, my perception is that each attempt is as hard as the other, I just some how get through it quicker. In 4 months I'm over a minute down the road on myself.

Harry.
