Not a Coach 11473 Media, PA | Subject: RE: Efficiency Losses on the Bike Originally posted by mike761 Originally posted by JohnnyKay If you hold steady power, 200w for x time should be the same physical toll. I don't think I can agree with this statement. If you hold 200W for an hour on a 100°F day it will have more of a toll on you than doing the same thing on a 60°F day. Your body produces heat when it works and must transfer that heat to the environment which will happen more efficiently on a cooler day. Also on as Marq said the air density changes so on a cool day you pull in more oxygen when you take a breath on a cool day. If your talking about 5°-10°F difference the effects are minimal, but with larger differentials as well as changes in humidity there will be a difference. Sorry. My reply was specific to the changing wind question. Not temperature or other factors. |

Did you see the study that shows that the swimming is becoming less important in Olympic and Ironman racing ? Edited by marcag 2016-01-29 4:49 PM |

Extreme Veteran 5722 | Subject: RE: Efficiency Losses on the Bike on a more serious note, great podcast here https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/cycling-time-trial-podcast/id829... Andy Francioni does talk about testing. He speaks briefly on the concept of testing outdoors. More to come in a future episode. |

There is a run thread about to turn into a kickset debate. the swim was never important in ironman racing. in draft legal the swim is only important if you aren't good enough I was only half joking but since you are interested http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26808853?dopt=Abstract "Across the years, in the Olympic distance, swimming contribution significantly decreased for females and males (r = 0.51 and 0.68, p < 0.001, respectively), while running increased for males (r = 0.33, p = 0.014)." BTW, when was the last time you saw amateurs doing draft legal Oly ? And for the record, I am working my buns off on the swim with next Masters meet Feb 21st. Edited by marcag 2016-01-30 5:48 PM |

I'm assuming this isn't available on an ipad/iphone app. I really don't use a computer for anything oustide of work (or anything outside of work that required downloading software anyway), so I haven't had the need to purchase one. There are a couple of triathlon related programs that would be nice, but it hasn't been enough to pull the trigger. |

[pink on] Well, you should worry less about the dopers, get yourself a computer and legally aerodope yourself to 20 or 30 watts[pink off] |

But speaking of buying things; it seems as though the sleeved tri-suits (like the one pictured) are the thing to have. Have you found they live up to the hype in aerodynamics? I typically don't like anything with sleeves due to feeling restricted while swimming, but if it could give me an advantage on the bike, I'd take it. Also, the new rules came out that sleeved tri suits are legal for non-wetsuit IM events. |
