2008 Ftp?

grahamspringett

Tour of Bright, the last 32km go up Mt Hotham. Should be a nice view from the top if I can still see by then!

Cool thats my main target event for the year also, it will be my first tour of Bright so not sure what the feild will be like, my guess is I'll be in C grade. I've done all those climbs a few times specialy the tawonga gap (one of my fav climbs) only about an 80 min drive for me, where in Aus are you based?

Not ready yet for doing a TT level effort but a first go at MAP test on my new home trainer will suffice for the time being. I started two weeks ago with a 10-min trainer ride, some 14 months since my accident.

Just completed my first hour on the trainer tonight with an NP of 154W

Before the MAP test I did what felt like 30-min of good tempo and with FTP at 185W that 30 min has an IF of 0.88, so that's about right.

ToB was a nice weekend in M1/2/3 last year. The Hotham stage was epic. Group of about 20 lasted to the toll gate then it exploded, me included! I had the ITT stage win, so I was happy to grovel to the top and watch the lightweights disappear into the clouds.

Planning on hitting that race with a much higher FTP this year (but isn't that always the goal!?)

Just a minor update but I'm still proud of it (taken form long L4 hill intervals). Aiming to be at or above 300 for my 2nd main event on August 23rd
And by the way if I make that goal (and if Tyson doesn't improve further which is unlikely) I had met my second goal

Therein lies your problem Bigwill; you want to beat up a poor, frail old man.
Pick on someone younger, you big bully! Tyson

Went from 199 to 232 in 2 month (3.01-3.57 w/kg). In june i bougt Power unit to train with power instead of train with HRM (upon influence of this forum) and did my first ever ftp test- so i have no idea how good my progress is. But as long my power goes up it looks good enough to me

@MintID: what do you mean with beginner class , by the way? I'm totally slashed with that expression and seeing your 4,78W/kg . Come on, tell me this is just a typing error

Hoping to be at Bright this year too

The whole middle section of hotham will be wheel suckers delight, once you hit the toll gate though..fun.

Edit-Lama, you're goin down in the tt . Don't forget I've gotta do an extra 40k in the morn AND we start before you lot in the TT so I'm handicapped as is

In Denmark you have to start in Beginner, then C - B - A

I just started racing this season.
Need 32 points to advance. I have 17 so far.
(first place 8 points, second place 6 points, third 5, fourth 4, fith 3 and 6. place gets 2 points. )

W/Kg has very little meaning in Denmark due to the flat courses.

Simone@Italy

I'm not pretty sure it works in that way since, given that power drops of 5% each time the duration doubles. 370,5 to me looks more as the 40MAP, I guess a fairly bet would be x 0,92.

...Anyway, I'm just really happy because I've just tested my 20MAP and it resulted in an astonishing (to me) 249 W per 60,4 Kg (4,12 W/Kg)

My goal for the 2008 was to reach a 4,0 W/Kg, a +10% on last season value (I didn't stated it in the Goals Galore thread because I'm italian and superstitious ), so today was a great day to me.. and it comes within the week where I scored the highest TSS since I have a Powermeter (guess that tapering doesn't do for me )! I wish to thanks the members of this forum, which has proven an invaluable source of infos!

... ok ok, I didn't win anything important and the numbers are not that cool, so I'll stop this endless post, but I really wanted to share my happyness with you!
