Also New to Power Training...first FTP Test results.

Brian Pautsch

I recently purchased a new tri bike with a PowerTap SLC+ and completed my first FTP Test last night.

It was on a trainer in my basement. I'm 1/3 the way through "Training and Racing with a Power Meter" and this stuff is new to me.

Any feedback, recommendations is appreciated. One thought: Wear the HR monitor next time.

looks like you got the basics figured out, it is definitely easier (for me) to look at the horizontal graph vs the stacked graph in WKO. Watch a few of the crucibles and watch the way coach P toggles around WKO, and pulls sections out. Otherwise, the performance looks real good. Nice work

Thanks, Dan. I'm getting into the EN Webinars now. That along with book should help any questions and provide insight.

Great way to learn a little more about WKO and how to get around to find useful data to help in training and racing

@Tom - I took a quick look and I think this will help a lot. Thanks!
