Now what the heck is it actually telling me? The graph shows Power on the Y and Time on the X axis. What it shows you is a compilation of your best power efforts at every time slice that you've ridden. It also shows you (via a black line) the trace of your currently selected ride. You can hit the left mouse button over the chart and see in numbers the power numbers at each time slice for your current ride and best ever in the boxes below the graph. If memory serves it also calculates your Critical Power from the graph and once you save it will show you your power efforts in each zone. I love loading up my rides and seeing if I've managed to overwrite any of my best efforts with something I did today. Small pleasures, I guess. pilotzs - 2011-05-17 3:56 PM 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? Always give 110%. Ok, I have no idea - listen to Mark. ;-)
So, I should be able to take my CP curve graph and get my CP for any timeframe. Right now, my CP at 20m is around 207. One hour, is around 200. That's what I'm thinking after studying the graph. I need to finish reading my training with power book. Corn, I think riding at 95-105% would kill me for the run. I still have some base building to do. Bama, my OLY is this weekend, so no go on a test, but I've got a pretty good idea. I think the 80-90% sounds about right, I just wanted to verify how hard I should actually push the bike. That would put me in the 165-170w range, and it's a flat course, so no hills to contend with. My goal is to have a good run off the bike this time. I've always blown up on the run. |

But I think I'm going to try it anyway. I'm not really prepared for my race this weekend so it's not like I've got a lot to loose. I'm going to shoot for around 90-95% and then try to hold my HM pace on the run. I don't expect this to go well but what the heck I'm either going to have a great race or a great learning experience. On second thought, since I'm not feeling prepared maybe I should be more conservative... nah, that's no fun! Edited by cornfed 2011-05-18 8:38 AM |

My bad, the date didn't even register with me.
I couldn't put down a decent run after an Oly bike split at 95 to 105%. I think the most I could hold in an Olympic is 90 to 95 %. Unless it's been awhile since testing. |

Maybe I can kick out the wife and kids. That way everyone can bunk at my house. |

I think the most I could hold in an Olympic is 90 to 95 %. Unless it's been awhile since testing. The course this weekend is brutally hilly for both the bike and the run. I rode the course last weekend and part of it the weekend before. With all the rolling hills I have a hard time keeping my power down. I try not to surge up the hills but I'm still pushing 125% on the way up. I'll freely admit this might not be the best plan. However, I feel like try to race comfortably and I don't push myself enough. I feel that by expecting it to be painful going in there is a better chance that I'll push myself to hang on instead of easing up like I normally do. |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Who wants to help me taper for my 5k swim? Mon - nada Now, here's the rest of the week: So, what should Fri be? I was thinking something along the lines of an EASY 2000ish yrds or a simple 5mi run. I have no idea... |

Mon - nada Now, here's the rest of the week: So, what should Fri be? I was thinking something along the lines of an EASY 2000ish yrds or a simple 5mi run. I have no idea... I will be doing a 1000yd fast swim. Short enough not to cause fatigue that will last, but hard enough to keep the muscles working. Just remember that your training is in the can. Done. Finito. The 7k you've done this week won't be helping you this weekend. Nothing you do Friday will, either - other than some confidence boosting. Get sharp. Get fresh.
BamaDC - 2011-05-18 10:24 AM Maybe I can kick out the wife and kids. That way everyone can bunk at my house. Thanks for the offer, but I already have plans. I'm bringing the family and we're going to hit the rocket museum the rest of the day. I'd certainly be up for a dinner with everyone, though. |

Looks like a triple whammy! ITBS, Tendonitis, and a bone spur on the kneecap that is rubbing against some other piece of bone. Start PT tomorrow morning. Also got a script for Mobic. Good anti-inflammatory. This is really screwing up my season. I have a half mary scheduled this weekend (DNS for me) and sprints and an OLY sceduled for the following 3 straight weekends. |

Oh my end today, ARG. Finished out the day with an easy 6:30 500yd and 5x100 on 1:30 holding 1:12-1:14. At least I finished the workout out fairly well. Edited by sand101 2011-05-18 8:57 PM |
