Subject: Getting the bike timing down
Hi all, started the sport 4 months ago and am hooked! Just did my first HIM in Dubai this last weekend! My question relates to the cycle. I have a decent swim time for a newbie 1.9km in 35 mins. But I'm sitting at about 3:10 for the cycle, my swim sets me up nicely and then I watch others zoom past!! I do regular cycles 1 x brick 30-40 km and then 10 min runs. 2 x 50km cycles on the weekend or in ramping up to the race we did several 90km bricks. However I don't seem to be getting any quicker on the cycle, so I wanted to find out if there are any great training methods to start building up long term speed or is it just a case of cycle cycle cycle?? Love the sport, not so much the recoveries haha!!!

Little things like tires and tubes can make a big deal, tire pressure, bike frame, wheel, race chain, aero helmets, clothing, nutrition choice etc can all make a big deal. Sure you probably need to do a lot to more training, but biking is also about equipment and position too.
