    Does online trainingpeaks have a place to put in your "swim FTP" or time trial pace/time? In wko+, For bike (ftp) and run (threshold pace) TSS you need that baseline value to make the calculations, so you'd have to put it in somewhere I'd imagine!

    Yes, you either enter the results of a 1000yd TT or you can enter a t-pace manually.

  • @ Matt - it's $119 per year if you pay annually. By the third month you've forgotten you paid, really it's that easy......!!!
  • Oh boy, don't get me started again on TP online subscription model.

    It will be a cold day in hell before they get me to pay them monthly for the same product that I've paid retail for multiple times...

  • @Trevor - Why do you keep buying a copy multiple times? Is it the upgrades? Is it the support? You know they will not sell you another copy and have stopped developing WKO+? Rather than take the hit every 12 to 18 months on a new software package, I choose to pay just a bit monthly and see the software get better EVERY month.

    I know, I know, it is a tired point to make, but thought I would insert so us subscribers don't look like saps. I guess we are renters while others prefer ownership. I get it.... image
  • i'm sorry i brought up this topic...different thread gents...
  • @Matt: thanks re: TSS, that's what I figured. Swim tracking is about where run tracking was 10 years ago i.e., "we can use them there GeeeePeeeeS satellites to measure our miles!"

    @All: sorry for the online TP thread hijack. Wasn't my intention, but it's good to know others despise where TP is headed as much as I do.
  • Dino, upgrades only. I.e. if you bought WKO+ 2.2 full retail, you still had to pay to upgrade to 3.0. Very well aware of their decision to stop development on WKO in favor of TP.com.

    Won't go into it any more on this thread though. 

  • I love you, Trevor! How is Orangeman training going? Are we still gonna get out and ride the course?
  • Got my Garmin Swim today. Yes, I am a geek and early adopter. Already swam once today and thinking about going again this PM....
  •  aaahhh..Dusty!..my ship date was delayed until next week...can't wait...lost track of laps today!...argh.

     

  • I didn't make it to the pool today but will be tomorrow. Anything that gets me excited about swimming boring laps is a good thing....
  • Got an email yesterday that said mine shipped!
  •  By the Way....Luvin' it!
