I have a race on November 9th in Florida and I live in Michigan where it is much cooler. I expect the temps to be near 85°. Last year I did the race and arrived 4 days before the race and did OK. I actually had good power on the bike but I over-did it just a little. I suspect that I was probably 10 watts over what I should have averaged.
This year I'm arriving 9 days before to get time on the bike and get used to the heat (as well as vacation time). What kind of efforts do I need to do to maximize plasma volume before the race? Can it be done? Is it too little time?
Maybe someone can point me to a good resource on the topic?
Thanks
