Just watched some watches, hehe, and remembered PATEK of PATEK-PHILIPPE brand was also very polish.
Such was life that when your country stopped existing everyone had to btfo to the first world to be anyone.
Completely different topic if the dismantlement of the PLC is in itself a (negative) testament to the capabilities of self-governance and other proclivities of my half-western, half-steppe people.
For me it was 6x10min with 1min breaks at 350-360W in the velodrome plus one similar effort on the road afterwards. Was supposed to do 2 more 10min efforts on the velo but my hamstrings started cramping up and I had to quit. Heavy RDLs were a mistake, still hard to ride aero even a week after the gym session

Yeah let's see how it goes next season, but I am now riding mostly on the TT bike and trying to get accustomed to the different position. My coach and I figure that a fall/winter of mostly TT bike will be really beneficial and still probably won't harm my road racing. With the baby and older kid it's going to be hard to do many races on the road (longer distance from home, longer races in general etc.) whereas most TTs are near and much shorter, so they fit the life situation a lot better.
I'll have to do some racing to really figure where I'm at, but my guess based on today's velo session (where I could hold just over 46km/h with sweetspot watts) is that I could probably do 20km TTs at around 47-48km/h, and that's usually top5 nationally around here. So my goal for next year is a top3 in the NC, probably a stretch but honestly aside from 1-2 guys the field is pretty even.

I saw a big guy (big as in big belly) with super wide tires on his road bike. he must have had some really low tire pressure and the bike was bouncing around like crazy.

I am sorry, but you just need at least a 15k€ bike to be able to compete. What, you can't afford a 25k€ bike and a few wind tunnel trips, what are you a peasant? Honestly if you don't splurge at least 50k€ on bikes, skinsuits, helmets and wheels you have no business going over 40km/h, it is what it is
