LOL. Dude, I'm sure you're in the same boat as me. Actually, no. Wait. Your wrists are probably bigger than mine, with your weight training history.
I happen to have petite wrists and ankles ,doll...
I'm also now tipping the scales at a supermodelish 76kg's, as opposed to 95, back when... ... ...
yeah, but he has puny wrists... Fenix 3 fits me perfectly
So manly...
Thats just coincidence.
It is based on my personal tested FTP.
First and last portion of set is done at Core Strength Zone, which for me is between 340W-374W and middle section is done at Core Endurance Zone which for me is 265W - 330W.
So I try and do them in the middle of those zones, hence those numbers.
It has nothing to do with JVR's numbers....
Is that Zone 4 and Zone 3...?
DC Rainmaker reviewed the FR 235 with Garmin's built in optical HRM.
An interesting read. He shows comparative data between the optical and chest monitors.

I'm a huge Apple fan. Won't have any other phone. This watch however, really sounds like a gimmick. If you have a Garmin/proper cycling computer already, you're better off keeping that for the bike, and if you want a step counter (which to me is all the Apple watch is a glorified version of), there are much cheaper options out there. If you run and swim too, then a proper sports watch is a better option than the Apple watch.
The only allure is that it's 'free', if you reach your fitness goals. But I don't have a discovery card, nor do I want one.
I've been getting two smoothies a week since this thing started. My wife is also on it and does not like the smoothies and so I've been using her two as well. I have a Kauai and a Vida each within 100m or so of my office
I collected my watch this morning and paid the little extra (R900) for a bigger version. I've been using (READ: playing) a lot and the battery has not been too bad. My question is:
I've been using the activity tracker in my Garmin fēnix 3 for the daily step count, now this works fine because Garmin Connect send the info to Discovery. I use GC quite a bit to track my progress, can I swap, as the need/want arrises and have my steps populated to GC from the Apple Watch, thus maintaining my history on GC?
Why would you bother with the Apple watch when you already have the Rolls Royce of fitness watches...?
I'll save a few for when I'm near a Vida.
I'm not a member at VA, so getting in just to go to Kauai comes with it's own hoop jumping challenges...
The current system does not penalise you for missing the target, so does it matter if you miss the target?
Next year... different story.
Come now Gerald, people complain about poor race packs, and now i must just let FREE iced beverages slip through my fingers...???
Pull yourself together maaaan...
As of next year, that'll only get you 100 points per session.
Good, too, 'cos it gets the fat feckers out of their chairs to actually do some work for a change if they want their free apple watch.
Yes, I'm writing this whilst drunk, high on codeine and pissed off that my ****** up ribs are preventing anything over 100bpm (never mind general functional training) to be at all bearable.
I hope you've applied for a TUE...
Here you go, to make it easy.
Yes, I'm drunk, and popped 6 Adcodol 30 min ago.
No, it doesn't excuse your laziness
Yes yes, don't shout... I read about what's planned for next year...
My main concern is that I'm going to over train for smoothies till 2016.
That's why i asked if i missed something. Ain't nobody got time to read every post in 48 pages.
I've hit the targets both weeks, but purely because they've been post 947 chill weeks, for a bit of a mental and physical break from chasing watts and tss, so i've been jogging and doing a bit of strength training at gym.
But when i'm back to flat out training on the bike, gym time is reduced, so is run time.
And i definitely generally rest 2 days a week.
This may actually promote that 'walk into gym just to swipe the card' that lazy people do.
And driving through the hood at 30km/h in the car with the Garmin on, twice a week for 300 points.
I signed up and got the app and Strava sync etc all sorted a week and a half ago.
Was straight onto a target of 1200 points, off the bat.
My only quibble is this...
A target of 1200 points, is obviously given to somebody who's quite athletic, right...?
I mean, they must have derived your target from some form of training history/data...
So, if you're the type of member/athlete who's automatically prescribed the maximum target, surely Discovery should take into account that sports people of this "caliber", are generally training pretty hard, and should often be taking more than 1 single rest day off per week.
To hit 1200 points, one needs to train 6 days a week.
So, unless i go and buy/make use of some kind of fitness watch or band that tracks steps etc, if i take 2 rest days, I miss the target...
Or am i missing something...?
Sick...!!!
I think you'll find your popularity soaring higher, with more eye catching stuff like the banana ones. Nobody wants to ride in boring socks. The sock doping culture bandwagon is something that you guys need to jump onto...
Falke and the like have the market on plain, boring socks, pretty much tied up...
My sister is just waiting for unabridged birth certificates for the kids and then all her paperwork etc will commence.
Giving some serious thought to following them over...
What are you doing that side work wise Wayne ?
Crutchlow fell...?!!
You must be joking...?
Better too early than too late...
Yes, I made one with more points on compared to the one issued by the organisers.
Excel file also attached
Everyone should print this and stick it to their top tubes.
If you're slipping off the back and don't think you can hold on or bridge and stay there once you're back on, in order to comfortably make each point, then you know it's best to bow out and let the rest keep going...
