Any thoughts on this ?
Cheers !
Rough guess on CdAs is .26 and .34, respectively. Unless those courses were really hilly or windy (particularly the 2nd one), you have a lot of room to get faster. I don't see any reason a triathlete can't average close to 25mph on 240 watts. I'm your size, and I last averaged around 26 at that power, in poor conditions. Some, like Grill, go 28 or so with that power.
You aren't using Tufo tires by any chance, are you?
