hi
sorry newbie question
what is the best way to tackle very windy courses?
i mainly do sprint distance duathlons as i'm mainly a distance runner that loves to cycle. the course i race and train on are always very windy being along side the coast.
as soon as i hit the wind i lose at least 12kph in speed and can't seem to get through it.
should i be going into a lower gear at a higher rpm to maintance speed?
or push out a hi gear?
what is the best way to increase my down force leg strengthen
do hills reps in a higher gear? or add weight to the bike
i try to stay as low as possible when its windy but the lower i tuck in the more my legs burn like mad.
thanks for any advice
