Guess Dlyon's Power for his first test

5:30pm. get your popcorn ready!

Of course it is! Also I was thinking I was guessing FTP, but really I was supposed to guess the avg power over 20mins, which is supposed to be what, 110%? Then its even easier to get 300W  

How old is Dlyon? And athletic background?

Maybe also interesting, over/under on the sprint peak at the end? Since he said he was a sprinter!

Age?

Last tri bike speed?

Give us a little more data....

I went with 210 - but this is lowballing when I take his weight into consideration.  I'll write 230, and I'm expecting him to fizzle at the end, so he'll have a higher number till the last 5min and then drops off a bit.

Unless he reads this first and sandbags the first 10min and tries to make up for it.

I am 38 years old.  My last race was the NYC tri this past August.  My bike split there was 1:18:38.  Challenging with some rollers, but nothing crazy.

My athletic background is in soccer, where i played at a very high level collegiately.  Also have played ice hockey.  My sprinting background is of the running variety.  I am lightening quick at the 100m and 200m distances and can still smoke kids half my age.  It's Happy Gimore strange, but its true.  None of this has translated into a stellar triathlon career.  I am most definitely a MOP'er.

This is my 3rd year, 1st year with a coach (training for IMNY/NJ).  I have had a power meter for all of 4 days and have zero idea how to intepret any of the data.  I'm testing at 5:30pm and will post results here.

What position did you play?

And would that be in Eastern time then?

5:30pm Eastern, correct.

I played central midfield most of my life, with some forward intermixed.  I used to be able to do a 2.2 mile run in 12 minutes.  My best 5k is a 23:00 (2 years ago).  I spent my 20s and early 30s doing alot of hanging at the beach instead of running and swimming at it.  trying to regain at least some of my old athletic self.  never played organized ice hockey until some adult league play in my mid-20s.  tons of time on the pond though.

That's gonna completely screw your taper!  I'm dropping my estimate by 10w.
