Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() GoFaster - 2010-04-14 10:57 AM Ryan - couple of questions. At 181W, what was your watts to kg ratio at that power level? Also wondering what the Boise course was like, cause that's a crushing pace. Last thing, the average - was that the actual average or you pedaling or NP average? Thanks I sent you a PM on this... didn't want to bog down the board with a bunch of numbers, but quickly: ~3 w/kg; and that was average watts, NP was slightly higher. swbkrun - 2010-04-14 5:16 PM This was Boise--- Not easy to get a "REAL" idea when you are dancing around HUGE puddles, and avoiding lightning storms!

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Took my first ride on the new bike tonight - felt great! This was also my first outdoor ride of the year (except for the test ride of the bike). Last year my fastest pace over a ride was right at 20 mph. Tonight I made 19.6, granted it was less than an hour ride. Hopefully after some work, I will be able to make those speeds consistently! |

Have you tried Schlegals or Bicycle Alley downtown? They've got quite a bit of tri clothing. Actually, the last time I was in Schlegals, which was about a month ago, they had a pretty good selection of stuff. Holly - Yes, I practically live at Schlegel's. Did you see their killer selection of She Beest Cycling wear? Adorable! I purchased a blue leopard print shirt. Going back for the skort in a couple of weeks ![]() |

My bike has a defective seat post and I have been dicking around with GURU most of the day trying to get them to replace it. Ugh! ![]() Suzy, check with your fitter before you get to upset because my fitter actually turned my seat a 1/4 inch or so off center on purpose during my last fit. It is supposed to give some room for keeping everything out of the way when in aero. (Don't know if that applies to men and women????) I can say, it took a week or so to get used to but I don't think I will ever ride a straight seat again. Some of the seat manufacturers (I have read it in Cobb's lit for sure) actually tell you that the seat should be turned left or right a little in their manuals. Just a thought........ |

Elite ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() badgerintx - 2010-04-15 8:51 AM My new Garmin 305 Forerunner is on its way! Love my 305 - just a suggestion, get the cadence sensor for the bike, and the quick release strap. This way you can dump your current bike computer and just use the 305 for both bike and run. http://www.gpscity.ca/garmin-forerunner-205-and-305-quick-release-bike-wrist-mount-kit.html http://www.gpscity.ca/garmin-cadence-sensor-gsc-10.html The only downside I have about the 305 is that I don't swim with it, so when I get to transition it takes me a couple of seconds to get on the quick release strap (much better than the plastic one). I don't put the strap on before hand because I'm worried I might tear the wetsuit when pulling it off over the strap (there's a piece of plastic that sticks up). Single best thing I've bought for training, and it's great for racing. I know a lot of people say to ignore the numbers at the Sprint distance but the 305 keeps me honest - especially on the run. I know when I'm not running fast enough. |

Looked at repairing it again and replacing the HR transmitter and after comparing the costs decided it was time and bit the bullet. Don't worry about wearing 2 watches... I know some really smokin' hot chicks that do it. Seriously though, get the quick release kit for it. Easily mounts on bike, and then can snap off, and pop onto velcro wrist band. And the cadense sensor. For $40 its great and easy to mount. My wife has the 305, and really like the virtual partner feature. Essentially racing yourself. Edited by TrevorC 2010-04-15 8:19 AM |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Only the coolest of triathletes can pull off the two watch look, so welcome to the elite club ![]() I am a fan of Under Armour myself. They have lots of black. Dicks carries a nice selection. Only problem is they don't go on sale. Suzy, more important than if it is straight, how does it feel? If I remember you have a leg length discrepancy so maybe this fitting accounts for that. My aero bars are not parallel and I want them that way. Go by feel. Glen - strength training. That is one of my goals for this season. I did a lot in college and am sad that I can't lift as often as I like. The question is what are you lifting for, strength or larger mass? Remember with larger mass comes more weight. Try to visualize this: you muscles have blood vessels flowing all throughout; the larger the muscle mass the more compression you have on all those blood vessels when the muscles contract and thus reduced blood flow. That is why endurance athletes don't have large buldging muscles = reduced blood flow. The calves are larger b/c they are more explosive (fast twitch) muscles when powering up hills or sprinting on the bike. If you plan on racing the faster races (sprints and olympics) then you want a good balance of fast and slow twitch muscles, but if you plan on going longer work towards the slow twitch direction. Upper body needs strength in the shoulders for supporting your body in aero and lats for swimming. Good abs and lower back are needed for all around core strength. If you want to increase strength but not add too much bulk then do lower weight/ high reps. It is a bonus if you can combine activities. For example, do dumbbell bicep curls and alternate leg lifts to the side while standing. Or military press with dumbbells while squatting on each lift. Just be very concious of your form. If you belong to a gym that teaches fitness classes I recommend taking one every now and then for good ideas on new lifting techniques. Aerobic classes have come a long way from the Jane Fonda days and they incorporate plyometrics, strength training, core, aerobic threshold workouts and active recovery.
