Extreme Veteran 1005 Sykesville | Subject: RE: BamaDC's mentor group is Closed! titeloops - 2010-09-27 8:28 AM swim 31:39 You had a solid race. Definitely nice to come out of a tune up race on a high note. You got a PT in your new wheels right? What sort of watts where you pushing on the bike? During my OLY I thought I was flying when I looked at my speed and thought I would need to reign it in. However when I looked at my wattage I realized I wasn't pushing as hard as I thought and was actually in a very comfortable/sustainable range. |

What was the temp on race day? 70's for the bike, and maybe 80 on the run. Never got to hot cause of the rain. |

During my OLY I thought I was flying when I looked at my speed and thought I would need to reign it in. However when I looked at my wattage I realized I wasn't pushing as hard as I thought and was actually in a very comfortable/sustainable range. I average 180 watts. Problem is I haven't done enough training with the PT to know what is a sustainable average over different distances. I thought I wanted to be in the 165 to 170 range. |

Once you have that you'll know what percentage you want to push in a race. If you do it soon (after you've recovered this weekend) you'll still have time before B2B to test it out during training. During my OLY I was only doing about 85% of my FTP which is (based on what I've read about pacing) low for and OLY. It's also probably why I felt so good after there race. If you don't want to do the testing right now you can dump all your power data into something like WKO or Golden Cheetah (or excel if you don't mind doing some extra work yourself) and get a reasonable estimate. Either way you need to know what the number is. |

I've heard beginnertriathlete.com has a lot of info. ;) Do you want to know how to use the software or how to do the test? If you want to do the test take look at Jorge's blog. You'll want to do the 20 minute test and 5 minute test then calculate your 60 minute power (which is your FTP). The test are a little strange in the they recommend doing part of your warm up at a specific part of your FTP but you obviously don't know this yet. I think the important part is to ride easy then ride hard, etc during the warm up so I just used RPE during this. The really important part is to hammer during the 20 minute part to get an accurate number. If it's a software question, which program are you using? Edited by cornfed 2010-09-27 1:22 PM |

Expert 1310 Alabama | Subject: RE: BamaDC's mentor group is Closed! Jorge is getting together a group buying discount for Powertaps. If anyone is interested, the information to send him an email is on the Tri Forum thread, winter cycling program. Or, his email is: [email protected] I sent him an e-mail, and hoping to get specifics back on what the deal may be. He's not sure if they can build it out or not, so may just be the powertap itself. |

If you get a good deal I wouldn't worry too much if it's not built into a wheel. You can get that done locally pretty cheap. |

Master 2327 North Alabama | Subject: RE: BamaDC's mentor group is Closed! I got the email from Jorge. He's quoting approximately 20% off based on the number of people that actually sign up. He did say that they will lace the hub into one of their wheels for $150. I think the cheapest was the Comp+ with a wheel for ~$600. I didn't think it was that bad of a deal. I believe cornfed beat me to it, but what was the thought about the RR that quoted a 1st place win only to notice they completely failed to do 1 of the out & backs on the bike, shorting it? Link: http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=228748&posts=6&start=1 Just curious. Accidental mistake or dubious plan? |

Sheep, on my limited knowledge, I would look at one of the wireless models (Pro+), since you already have the 310xt. You wouldn't need the CPU unit, unless you wanted something other than the 310xt to train, so the wheel + wireless powertap would be pretty reasonable. Mark, He's basically quoting a Pro+ w/ Joule 2.0 on a DT Swiss RR465 wheel for $1,080. Or a SL+ for $1399.99 w/ the same setup. Is there any real difference in models besides the weight? Not sure the extra $300 would be worth it just for the wieght at this point. I priced the Pro+ out on wheelbuilder, and it was $1465.00. Sounds pretty good. I'm guessing the DT Swiss w/ the powertap setup would be a good starter??? Would you want the Joule 2.0, or look at the Garmin 310xt instead? He can check on building into different wheels, but would be priced seperatly. Thoughts? |

Master 2327 North Alabama | Subject: RE: BamaDC's mentor group is Closed! Pilotz, that looks good. I mentioned the $600 deal last night to my better half, but it went down on the priority list simply due to price and other things in front of it. Now, if were even cheaper, than maybe it's a possibility. The only downfall is looking at the powertap stuff is completely new to me. I'll see if I can wade through it some more. What says you Mark? |

With the FB post saying he's going 4:20, with the post about riding a 2:18 on the course in a training ride, and the 40x50 swim post. It was all a set up to try and provide a smoke screen for the coming events. Those are my thoughts and good for the racer who brought it up on ST. |

I already have a Garmin 310xt and a 705, so I would go for the Elite+ Model. That's the cheapest model with the ANT+ technology. If you're using a disc cover, no one will see the pretty carbon cutouts. And until I'm under 6% body fat I'm not spending extra to cut out 80 to 200 gram weight. |

You could probably buy a few more and flip them on Ebay.  |
