300 club hashtag

Hey guys,

I have been Tweeting my workouts and including the #workworks hashtag since last year.  With the start of the OS and my RnP FTP goal of 300watts, I have added the #300orBust tag to my posts.  Anyone else here aiming for that milestone and tweeting?

    HA HA!  I'm even farther behind than you Leigh.  If I could hold 300 for a just one minute I'd be happy!

    Seriously- super cool goal.  

  • 300? WHAT my god I think that is two years away for me. How about the 250 club? Dave you are an animal
  • I'm there with ya Dave.  My R&P goal is 289 but I'm going to go for the big 300 club.  It's my only way to stay up with R&P, The Halligan, and Dan Socie at the TOC next year.

  • I am shooting for the 200 club.... Maybe 300 sometime while im dreaming!
  • Up until now I've been quietly, secretly aiming for a 300 goal. I guess with my posting in this thread it's now out there in the open. Got a little bit of work to do to get my FTP back to where it was last year let alone push it higher.
  • Rich has me predicted at 299 watts as a goal. Talk about a teaser. I'm all for 300watts.

    That's our Rich. I just ordered some Growth Hormone, EPO and exotic European roids to get that extra 1 watt!  JK. I will die on my trainer if I am that close to 300 watts just to meet that goal.

  • I have my FTP set at 300 right now. That's usually my default FTP. At the peak of 2009, right before IMCDA I had about 335 as my FTP. I want to exceed that in 2010.

    I wanna go out and ride with the SF/Bay Area folks - I might be able to keep up with that FTP?!?
  • My race weight is about 140-143 lbs., so 300 is a big reach for me, but that's a cool hashtag. My self-imposed OS goal is 275, which doesn't quite have the cache worthy of a hashtag. (Note to self: 300 watts would put my FTP watts/kg at 4.62. How tasty would that be...)

    Josh, I would normally say "Go For 300" but I would probably get harshed by the FTP Police.   LOL!





     

  • Im the same boat josh... 4.6 though does sound tasty... Seeing as im at 209 I think i will wait awhile to set the 300 goal

    Heh heh. I have a secret, unpublished longer-term goal that might include a 300w FTP, but I can't tell anyone about that.

  • I'm going for it!!!  306 during the summer on the bike outside, 260 for the trainer indoors at the beginning of OS.

    RnP goal for me is 285.  I will achieve 300+ or die trying!!!

  • I'm going for it as well.

    My peak was 275 outside this season and I want to hit 300 outside prior to Oct 2010.
  • How do you add a hashtag that will appear on all of your post? (i.e., FTP, etc., etc.)
    Thanks.

    Thanks.

     

    You can add a signature in your forum preferences.  We're talking about adding a hastag to our tweets.  You do that by adding a #300orBust at the end of your tweet.

  • Thanks for clarification, David. I've scoured EN trying to figure out how to configure a signature which will appear at the bottom of all of my posts. I'll check out the "forum preferences".
  • Great goal and motivation! I'm doing a winter 21 week "computrainer" virtual race series every Saturday and the top guys are all low to mid 300's for 40mins+ (!) Great workout and we compete against different people from the various PeakCentre for Human Performance facilities across Canada - I'm getting SPANKED right now as I've been off the bike for a couple years (since IM Canada 2007) but will get my butt back in gear for IMC 2010 (thanks to Rich and Patrick



    I'm doing stage 4 tomorrow - hopefully adopt that "race with discipline" mentality and maintain an even 230 throughout the stage - we'll see what happens!
