Does anybody know how to correctly set FTP in Garmin connect? I go to Settings - Training Zones - Cycling - Power Zones and enter it there but whenever I download a ride it uses a much lower number which skews the IF and TSS numbers?

They extended cut-off by 15 min as the distance was 5km further

You will need to plan ahead - currently 4 - 5 week wait list in the US

Not yet available in SA, should hopefully not be too long

$699 for an accurate power meter with ANT + and bluetooth

Yup, Sram options are def limited but should be fine for what I get up to

Mate is travelling in the States, best value for money option I reckon.

I am technically incompetent and am looking to install a stages power meter (basically a new left crank) on my two bikes - 2012 Trek Madone 6.9 SSL with SRAM Red 2013 Specialised Epic Marathon Mtb with Sram XO On the Stages website they have a GXP and BB30 crank options for SRAM, which is correct?? The Specised website shows the BB as a PF30?

I think you might be surprised how much training top Mtbers actually do on road bikes. Take Karl, Sauzer Rabon etc all doing Argus

Full story is completely irrelevant and doesn't justify the actions. I do not want to live in a country where mob justice rules.

You can fit in 8 - 12 hours a week and the title is "Not much time to train"?!?

Scott Lin- has the new MIPS technology

Any idea where I can see the results?

You sound a bit nuts!

In July last year I ran out of talent which ended up in me getting a plate and 4 screws in my collar bone. At the time my doctor recommended leaving it in forever. I have heard a few conflicting views and was wondering, who has left the plate in and who has taken it out?

Training hasn't gone exactly to plan so will be doing a walk-ride-walk race plan

Must concur, it was a brilliant event! Well worth the full entrance fee. Performance from most of the teams in the bar was a bit lacking though.

Am I missing something - looks like race entries are still available?

The Tacx software is great when it works, but the fact that it bombs out during workouts makes it almost worthless - doing an indoor session is hard enough without having to stop, get off and reboot the computer. I emailed the support desk and they acknowledged a bug with version 4.7 - apparently an update will be out in the next few weeks.

I recently purchased a i-Vortex trainer with TTS4. After reading some horror stories about how hard it was to set up I was pleasantly surprised to be up and running in no time. However, since then I am constantly getting issues with the link between the brake and the software "breaking" and half way through sessions the brake will suddenly get a mind of its own and randomly adjust the resistance. This is helluva annoying have to stop and reset 45 minutes into an interval workout! Has anybody else had any issues with TTS4?

Cannot wait for the race! Doing it for the 2nd time and hopefully a bit better prepared. Aiming to cut my time from 6h24 to 5h45.

My geography is terrible but I assume that an Easterly wind would be into you on the way back? Would prefer a headwind on the way out and a tailwind back...

Did a 3h12 bike at 70.3 and a 3h42 Cycle Challenge (this included 2 punctures so moving time around 3h32).

Must agree - Sun City is a fantastic venue for a triathlon. Would have preferred road closure for the cycle but the run inside the resort was brilliant.
