Marcin Bialoblocki has posted the Strava files for the rides where he shattered the British 25 mile and 10 mile TT competition records.
Former An Post Rás winner Marcin Bialoblocki (One Pro Cycling) had a weekend to remember and one that will force many top British and Irish TT riders to realign their ambitions against the watch.
The Polish international, who has been living and racing in Britain for many years, on Saturday set a new British competition record for the 10 mile TT.
And on Sunday he followed that up with another record breaking race against the clock, this time over the longer 25 mile distance.
In the SSLL Racing Team 10-mile TT at South Cave, Yorkshire, on Saturday he set an astonishing time of 16mins 35secs, with took 45 seconds off the record of Alex Dowsett (Movistar).

Irish women’s champion Anna Turvey was also riding and clocked 19:08, which was also a new British competition record and a new Irish national record, subject to ratification.
And 24 hours later Bialoblocki rode the Port Talbot Wheelers 25 Mile TT in south Wales and recorded a time of 44mins 4secs.
He has posted his Strava files for both riders, which you can see below.

The elapsed time for his ride his slightly longer - just by a few seconds - in each case than his official time; probably because he began his ride on Strava just before he started and/or stopped his computer just after he finished.
But the elapsed time is only 9 seconds longer than his actual time for his 10 mile TT effort and it's even less, at 8 seconds, for his 25 mile TT so it has very minimal impact on his output for the competition distance.
Bialoblocki is 196.5cm in height and 78kg.

Data explainer
Weighted average power
When you ride with a power meter, you'll notice how your power jumps all over the place based on the terrain, grade, wind, and other factors. Weighted Average Power looks at all of this variation and provides an average power for your ride that is a better indicator of your effort than simply taking your average power. It is our best guess at your average power if you rode at the exact same wattage the entire ride.
Total work
Total Work, expressed in kilojoules (kJ), is simply the sum of the watts generated during your ride. There is a close 1–to–1 ratio with 'total work' and 'calories expended' during a ride.
