Curious to hear what everyone does. Right now I do 10mins at 50% then 2x2mins at FTP with 1min at 50% inbetween.

Re: How do you warm up for a 40k TT? [GreenPlease]

I like the team sky warmup...I can't recall the exact protocol, but it's easy to find with a google search. I have to look it up every time I use it:( It takes 20min on a trainer and is as good as anything else I've found. I use it for TT and road race warm up.

x2 for the SKY protocol, i use that warmup for every road race, crit, TT, MTB, Cross etc. In general it is as follows
5 easy spin
8 minute build through zone 5
2 min easy
2 minutes with 3x6 second all out bursts at very high cadence
Spin down as needed
I like to do 10 minutes easy at first, but the rest is really dead on in getting in just the right about of work.
This warmup is very similar to what i have seen Cancellara do as well, easy spin, short but steady build, and then 2-3 very hard short efforts at high cadence.
