4-Man TTT practice

I managed to get in a good practice session with my 4-Man TTT teammates this weekend. One of the guys is a bit stronger than the rest of us but overall I think we’re pretty evenly matched in terms of power. We did three loops of a 10 mile course out in the suburbs (with VQ) and I thought we had good transitions going. One thing we have to look out for is inclines on the course. When our strongest guy is in front we need him to hold it back a bit so the rest of us don’t get dropped. You don’t get as much of a draft benefit on an uphill as on a flat, so we just have to be aware of that during the race (although we've been told the race course is pancake flat). Our speed was pretty consistent the whole way, although I did get pretty winded by the last loop and had to fall off the train.
