I'll be using the TT bike, having now tried both (not with powermetre). Today road was still wet and full of leaves but nothing too scary.
Last week I did 1 lap reccy + 1 fast-ish lap on road bike 24"21 @ 152bpm, then 1 lap run 52"15 @ 158bpm, rode and ran with comp. tights, felt good no pain
This week 2 fast laps on TT bike 23"41 @ 155bpm & 23"42 @ 156bpm (lost 10' dropped chain), was pretty windy, then 1 lap run 52"44 @ 151bpm, felt a bit sluggish especially at the start, bit heavier this week plus had a bit too much food in me, used tights again, bit of pain in thighs above knee afterwards.
Hoping to be able to race the 3h at +/- 160bpm. Big unknown for me is the transitions, not sure how much time will be lost in those, running in the car park wheeling the bike and fitting shoes etc.
