Deciding when you try the harder pass can be difficult, but for me 30mph didnt start to seem "slow" and "easy" until I started making attempts at 32 and 34.

I would try 1 mph increases, and I would start weaving them in after you complete at least 1 full pass and you have made 3 attempts.

This way your body has warmed up and you get a feel for rythm before attempting faster speeds

Just when you think you are getting the "leveraged position", take video of yourself!

trust me there is probably a lot of room for improvement even though it is starting to feel right.

Get instruction from a pro/coach, and if one doesnt work for you try a different one. Sometimes all it takes is the same instructions but worded differently for it to click for you.
