All things being equal, I train with four and a half pounds of fluid, six pounds of tools, tubes, etc, and about three to four pounds of body weight I won't have when I compete.
My best time up a 9.6 mile section of hill climb is 47:12. That was done two years ago without weight. (But I think I weighed about 5 lbs more then than I do now).
Today I did that same 9.6 mile segment at 53:52. I did it with weight and without any competitors.
Next Sunday I'll compete again. My descending times are better than two years ago.
Cycling is one of the most understandable complex things I've ever done.
