70.3 pace

Im doing my first 70.3 with a power meter. I did a 284 20 minute test, going me a 269 FTP. On a recent 56 mile race prep (with lights, stops etc), I averaged 209 for the first half and 225 on way home. What's a good target pace for IM 70.3 mont Tremblant?

    215-229W would be 80-85% of your FTP and the general range for racing a HIM. However you should try it out in a RR(race rehearsal) to see if you are able to run your planned pace. Was that "race prep" you mentioned a RR? If it was and you felt good on the brick run I would ride 75-80% first 20 minutes and then 80-85% from then on. There are more specific guidelines in the WIKI under race execution scroll down to advanced racing Half ironman and there are some charts that adjust this based on time finish. Good luck

    Thanks Rob. That race prep was my "rehearsal" and pace worked out well. And close to the 80-85% range you mentioned. Thanks.
