Why train during the winter? Good question. I can be moderately active in the winter and start trainning again in the spring and reach the same level as I did the previous year. Trainning in the winter gives that extra percent, the difference between 6th and 3rd, 30s quicker in a TT, ect...

Using an SRM. It was the average power for the first hour of an hour and 15 minute hill climb.

I am sure Absalon is over 6. I know Roland was well over 6 at his peak. The top women, particularly the small ones, are actually fairly close to the top men in watts per kilo. It goes to show you that watt per kilo isn't everything, absolute wattage is important.

I agree with you on that, for most of the part. The late selection dates creates problems for many athletes. However the medal contenders know way in advance that they are going. For example Alex Wrubulski (who crashed really hard in road race BTW) and Premont knew early on that they were...

Nothing is wrong with Clara's gold (did she get gold? I could swear that it was two bronze medals). Your previous statement implied that more than one canadian women had medaled. When to medal in womens road and TT events it took probably the best female athlete in Canadian history. Didn't...

Help me out, I am having some memory problems. Other than Clara Hughes what other canadian women have medaled on the road at the olympics.

I have to disagree with you. A race, even a crit, should far exceed your average daily load. If this isn't true then you are either racing in a category way to slow for you or you are trainning way to hard and to tired to race properly. If you are able to one full hour of FTP per day for the...

Did you also notice that Sam is the same guy who one the best hand made bike recently. Sold the bike for 13,000 to Lance Armstrong. I use to work and ride with Sam when he was doing the HPV thing. The crazy thing is Sam has a good engine but not a great one (he TTs at 43-45kph on regular TT...

A couple of big name MTber have come up under their program. Geoff Kabush is or was one of their athletes, Ryder H. too, Kirt Molday (if anybody remebers him) was also one.

Does anybody have the inside scoop on the any MTB compatibly power meters? A disk brake compatibly power tap is coming and an update MTB SRM is suppose to be coming but does anybody have any more information?

Fast. Really, really fast. It is quite disturbing how quick you lose conditions. If you take a month off it will take some where around 3 months to get back where you were.
