Hey Patrick,

I'm thinking of jumping out of the NOS and into the Half iron program now to get me prepared for Oceanside at the end of March.  Main reason is to start increasing the volume now instead of waiting 4 more weeks.  Thoughts anyone?  Also our pool is closed for maintainence for the next 2 weeks.

    Terry - no worries! I never kick you out of my thread. :-) You can go either way, especially if Oceanside is not the biggest race of your year. If you are worried about it then you need to make the transition.

    In other words, I trust you.

    So, did my bike test in the half iron week 12 program. Since I started using trainer road I did the power test. FTP came in at 239, and vo2 came in at 287. I had done my own mock test a few weeks ago for FTP and it was 225. I'll take the progress. I'm a newbie with the power, it is nice to have it on the screen in front of me. I don't have a power meter....yet. Not sure I'll have one before oceanside, but maybe IMCanada.

    Terry! That's great progress!! You should continue to see gains for a while, so keep on it, especially for this midweek rides where trainer road is super useful!
