titeloops - 2011-05-16 5:29 AMJennifer, how was Florida? How was your race?

jennitris - 2011-05-16 3:05 PM Hey guys! Race was great! Finished in 6:56:30 - goal was to finish, but hoped for less than 7. Woke up at 4:30 to massive thunder storms, so i spent all morning stressing about the weather, but it turned in to a great day - cloudy and high was mid -80's. Perfect.I'll do a full race report soon but here are the highlights. Swim - 44:37T1- 7:13Bike - 3:41:53 (rough - 20 mph headwinds were tough for me to handle)T2 - 4:22Run - 2:18:28All in all a great day. I'm hooked - lived the distance and felt great during 95% of the race. Spending the rest of the week at disney world with the family. Jennifer

Horn Tooting time.

My 20 minute Critical Power is up 8 watts from my last test, 258 to 266.  I think its been < 2 months since my last test.

sicone - 2011-05-17 4:07 AM

Excellent job Jennifer!

Though I've never used a pm I know that an 8 watt increase at those numbers is pretty impressive!

 

My own little bit of news. Got home last night to a nice big box containing.....

my new Felt S22!

Old bike for reference of how much of an upgrade this is:

It's a 1982/3 Raleigh Rapide which I'd been given (hence the reason it's too big and the seat and stem are as low as they'll go!).

Hopefully going for a fitting on the Felt on Thursday so having to try and adjust the fit myself until then.

Nice, I'm very jealous!  I'm thinking of getting I bike for next season.  What made you decide on Felt?

sand101 - 2011-05-17 9:58 AM

Kick a**!  It's on like Donkey Kong when we get to Rocketman.

I have consistently been setting new records in parts of my CP curve.  Came within 10 watts of my 20 minute max power last week on the tri ride - just a normal training day.  Shattered my 1 hour best power in Saturday's practice ride at OM (245w). Can't wait to see what I can do with a proper taper.

If you don't take me up on the cake of the month club I may have to carry a harpoon with me on the run so you can't just fly by me...

CP Question and race pacing:

I've got my first race this weekend, an Olympic distance.  How should I pace my bike as a % of CP?

I was looking at the CP curve graph this morning on Golden Cheetah, and thinking, that's cool, since I've accumulated some data.  Now what the heck is it actually telling me?
