Nemo said she was going to force the coaches to do it for us. I am pretty sure she plans on inflicting Physical harm if needed. Rich better keep that gun handy!
Silly question time... What are you guys talking about?
Not silly at all. It's this little "Bet" that we do each year with the coaches. We give them some basic info upfront (vDot & FTP after the first test, #yrs doing tri, #yrs with EN, etc). They then give us their guess at the best vDot/FTP you can reach by the end of the OS. You work your ass off during the OS and if you can't hit the number R&P set for you (tails you lose), then you gotta give their sbux cards a little bump. If you are successful and hit or exceed the number R&P set for you (heads they win), then you gotta bump their sbux card AND buy them a beer at your race.
Get it? It's just a fun way to get a target # and something to shoot for during the OS. Oh, and R&P get more sbux money- but that's besides the point!

I'm interested too.

Done! I am IN!!
Sorry to hijack your thread, but . . . P, can you hit me up with a vDOT prognostication up on line 66?
Thanks!
Hope someone will remind us to pay the piper when it's due. Looking forward to my first sub 20 minute 5K!
Last year I did the head/tails routine with my FTP. Coach Rich said 230 was my target; I thought: no way.
Sure enough, come IM Florida, there it was: 230. Served me well, too.
Just loaded my info, sans power - patiently waiting on compact Quarqs to be in stock
