Test run

I went to the track yesterday and did a 30 minute TT as a test/practice-run of my hour record. I did 48 complete laps in 30 minutes and did 49 laps in 30:13.91.

The formula used by the UCI to calculate the total distance is as follows:

D = (L Pi x TC) + Di C
Di C = (L Pi x TRC) / TTC

where: D = distance covered in the hour (or half hour in this case)
L Pi = length of track
TC = number of complete laps before the last lap
Di C = additional distance
TTC = time of the last complete lap
TRC = time remaining to ride at the beginning of the last lap

Using this formula my distance for the 30 minute effort was 19.467km or 12.096 miles.

Here are some fancy graphs I made:
