This discussion has been moved over here to the HD forum from the Speed Lap Challenge thread as it was an interesting topic that I felt deserved its own thread:
Context: It was mentioned that a TT challenge might be worth running in parallel with the SL challenge, so I began by mentioning what I felt were the benefits of doing TT at the same time as SL....
TT FTW. For anyone doing a lot of speed laps, I think time trial is a very good idea anyway. It aids in the speed laps by generating consistency which means fast speed laps are likely to be more frequent. You learn slightly different things from them both too. Sometimes sl is so much about the BRs and boost location that lines lose out, particularly as you often have to concentrate on a good boost at the start of the lap as well as the normal boost location. That's what I've always found anyway, and in the long term I think TT brings the greater improvements.
