I'm starting to realise that this is perhaps one of your underlying forum objectives. It's an all-too-common occurrence I've noticed you seem to encourage with subtle as well as direct disrespect of other posters... and then acting aloof afterward when challenged. I'll leave you to it.tonyzackery said:
You'r ammunition enough meat-head.tonyzackery said:I AM an internet celebrity - thanks to all of you!!! LOL! You all are so amusing in your derision for me - someone who has taken Ibuprofen before a training ride. The contempt you all hold is laughable...just goes to show the level of your egos, and the attempts you'll make at imposing your "rightness"...then when it doesn't get the desired effect, or when someone pushes back with the same **** you give, you get upset...how funny this really is...I'm at the point of just pushing buttons because I can; simple fact that you've exposed your "buttons" and allow me to push them at will makes this all the more fun...I want to ignore me, but your egos just won't allow it...
Anyway, back to my reporting: had a terrible TT today - with Ibuprofen, mind you. Down an average of almost 30 watts from last week. Oh well, back at it next week...There you go folks, some of you have ammunition to take potshots...
Infamy, infamy, they've all got it in for me!tonyzackery said:I must be famous, or is that infamous???
How long was this time trial?tonyzackery said:Only one trained seal still jumping through the hoops I set up??? I thought for sure I would more of you jumping...oh well...
Back to the study, no delayed onset muscle soreness...maybe tomorrow...Anyway, I feel good and will do my normal 4-5 hour fast group ride.
In my analysis of the TT this afternoon I'm certain I failed to warm-up properly and just started out too hard. Burned too many matches early on and there's no such thing as resting and recovering in a TT - it's all time lost...Did the Ibuprofen assist today, I would say not. Did it hurt performance, I would say not, again. Is it possible that it facilitated my starting out too hard? Anything's possible but I took a couple before my TT last week as well and I didn't blow-up like I today...the study continues...
Pal, you're coming in awfully late...before I even get started with you, you need to read the preceding pages...you just don't know what you're dealing with...you really should go back and stay underneath the rock from whence you came...it'll do your ego some good...swampy1970 said:How long was this time trial?
Maybe it's just me but no muscle soreness or discomfort after an important time trial = not riding hard enough. There's a reason why time trials are referred to as "the race of truth." If you can't deal with sore legs then why are you riding them? Sounds like you pussed out there buddy. If your FTP really is in the 360 to 370 watts range then you should have been motoring along somewhere between 26 to 28mph and put in a good performance. I know from experience that with that power you should be getting at least a low 21 minute ride for 10 miles or 53 to 55 minutes for a 25 without too much in the way of fancy gear. If you're riding a road bike and holding onto the tops then it's a whole different ballgame. Given that you have a powermeter you had no excuse to start to hard. Ibuprofen had nothing to do with your too fast start. Even if the bike you used for the time trial didn't have a powermeter you should have enough experience to figure out how to start correctly.
Spend less time popping the pils. A TT is not a Tablet Taking competition...

The only thing late in this thread is you crossing the finish line in the time trial. Next time get the pills with a child safety cap on - that should keep you from popping them everytime you think your little leggies might hurt. Don't know what I'm dealing with? You're right - you're a grown man acting like a small spoiled child.

Furthermore, and until such time as you become ordained, keep your preaching on the street corners and try stepping on the soapbox - you might be heard a little better...
With so much egg on his face, do you think he'll be able to save his bacon or will this thread mushroom into something as large and "debateable" as the It's Killing Me Thread? I'll be the first one to toast his success if he posts up a result that's around 28mph - something worthy of his posted FTP.Jono L said:

LOL! I'll make sure to keep you all hopping and be sure to throw you some treats when you obey my commands...
