First Timer Tips
I'm a cat 3 (upgraded at the end of last season) racer. I just joined the powermeter club this past weekend buying a used powertap from a teammate.
I was lactate tested back in November and haven't done a real test since then. I was planning to do a 30 min tt test this weekend, once i'm a little bit more rested. I also have been using the trial version of TrainingPeaks. It seems pretty cool, but I haven't explored it enough to exploit its full functionality. So any tips for a newbie to the power scene? Books to buy? Workouts to do (that i couldn't do before with a HRM or now can do better)? Ways to use TrainingPeaks to its full potential? |

Hey, your book is on that list, and the OP will probably pay you your buck when he upgrades his WKO+!!! |

Except, of course, for the fact that the latest upgrade to WKO+ is free. |

Hmm...so can I call my wife's racing efforts this year "research", and deduct the $15k or so they cost us? |
