I've always read how important it is to pace properly in TTs. My last two FTP tests on the Cervelo are hard evidence of that fact.
Two weeks ago, I started out too hard. My first 5 minutes I averaged almost 300 watts. I ended up averaging 251 watts over 45 minutes and was completely exhausted at the end - I didn't even have a good finishing kick.
Last night I started out correctly. My first 5 minutes I averaged 263 watts. I ended up averaging 265 watts over 45 minutes. I felt better throughout the test and had a very strong finishing 5 minute push.
My motivation was pretty low last night, so I attribute the entire wattage increase to proper pacing.

If you're doing these inside make sure you've got a monster fan to keep you cool...overheating is definitely a factor on the trainer.
I just bought a 20" "Air King" fan from amazon and it's gale force (and super quiet)...but $80
Lovely blog you have hhere
