Subject: Ironman Louisville - power pacing
I just completed my FTP test last night and it came out to a 236 with 95% of that generating an FTP of 224. I am racing Ironman Louisville in a few days (my first) and didn't really know how to come up with a pacing plan. I know I should stay within 65-75% of my FTP but I didn't know how to break that up. Are there certain areas where I should exceed that and others I should stay below? I have rode the loop on 2 separate occasions - 2 laps each time so I am pretty familiar with the course. Anyone in that same power range have watts to speed correlation for that course? Thanks in advance for any advice.

I'm no expert but have to trained on an outdoor long ride at similar power to what you plan on racing at IM Louisville?

Should be using your training over the last few months to help with these questions, not a test just a few days out. Part of the long rides is figuring out what you can ride at.

Some questions are suggestion being new to power as well, is that the case?
