  • Thanks Coach, I appreciate you getting to this before LP - very helpful.

    I know I have had trouble with starting in 1st gear - I blew it in RR#1 (above) and also in RR#2 as well.

    My natural tendency is to want to go out and crush a FTP test just so I can earn the right to go faster. The 213w was my first outside test - I did it the week before RR#1. Since then I re-tested and bumped my FTP to 220w. Finally got it above my OS indoor FTP. Unfortunatly I did the same thing on RR#2 - too hard for the first hour (0.723)

    These past few days I have had more time to contemplate my race stratigy and read what other have posted or said in podcasts. Well, now I think I am finally there.... to the point where I am emotionally prepared to 'dawdle along' in 1st gear (146w) all the way to the top of Cascade AND not spike the watts going down to Keene. So no more attempts to push the FTP before the race and ride what I bring to the line next week.

    I am confident in how big my box really is and if I am to have a stellar first IM, I need to stay in that box.

    Thanks for the critique and kind words..... Starbucks is waiting....

    Steven

  • P,

    Address to mail our file for your review?
  • @Jeff, instructions are in the Wiki!!!
  • OK - off to search through the wiki...
  •  Not trying to rush you Patrick, and I know you just got back from LP, but I was just wondering what the typicaly turnaround time is.  I sent one in on 7/20 and was hoping to have some feedback by my final race sim on 8/7.  Please let me know if you didn't get it and I will re-send.

    Thanks
