Today, I did a time trial on the N70 course as part of my preparation for the Dutch Championships next week. Right from the start, I felt strong and decided to push the pace in the first few kilometers. Looking back, I probably overdid it a bit. I wanted to test my limits, but that fast start made the next hill pretty tough.
I tried to keep a steady pace uphill (this also included powerhiking) and made up some time on the flat and downhill sections, where I could push harder.
In the end, I crossed the finish with a solid time of 1:15:41. I’m happy with it, but I think I can definitely go faster if I pace myself better and spread my energy more evenly over the route.
All in all, it was a great session, and I’m feeling excited for the Dutch Championships 28km. Let’s go! 💪😝
