bruce Posted April 30, 2009 Author Posted April 30, 2009 Can I post a pic of where exactly You physio's have a mean streak! I was hurting!
JasonW Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 Pretty impressive Bruce Quickly downloaded my data for the TT - My norm power was only 307. My partner wasn't feeling well at all' date=' so I had to go pretty slow up all the hills (especially the last 4 or 5km), but hadn't it been for that I think I could've got it much higher. I don't really do TT's in training, so I don't have anything to compare it to though. Would like to see wat Andrew's stats looks like [/quote'] It's all about w/kg, not absolute watts. Although I would assume that on the flat sections weight is less of a factor, and absolute power more so?
THE BODY CENTRE Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 I thought we were just talking power to the pedals here .. all clinical non emotional watts
Pieter Henning Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 Although I would assume that on the flat sections weight is less of a factor' date=' and absolute power more so? [/quote'] This TT was quite hilly, so like Bruce said, power-to-weight (Watt/kg) plays a large role, but on a very flat TT it probably comes down to absolute power (think Fabian Cancellara).
bruce Posted April 30, 2009 Author Posted April 30, 2009 I thought we were just talking power to the pedals here .. all clinical non emotional watts No such thing as un-emotional watts!
bruce Posted April 30, 2009 Author Posted April 30, 2009 On the flats it's more about watts/CdA, whereas on the hills is watts/kg Andrew has high absolute watts, is light, and small, so he is good in both environments. My problem is my height - 191cm, which negatively impacts my CdA.
spano Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 this might be a noobie question,,, what does CdA stand for?
