I remember a state championship road race on a 20-mile loop where one of the top riders thought there was one more lap to go and blew the sprint. He was really pissed, but the rest of us were kind of amazed that you could think you still had another 20 miles to go after already riding 100.

Thanks Lee – I use two different software packages – 1) The Polar ProTrainer 5 software that came with my Polar CS600 power meter for graphs to post to the website and analyze workouts visually. That’s where I get almost all of the screen captures posted here. 2) TrainingPeaks WKO+ for the overall data statistics and trends (weekly, monthly, avg power analysis, predicted performance graph). I have found the individual workout graphs in TrainingPeaks to be too hard to look at and figure out anything useful.

Hey Brian,
Love your blog! What kind of HR/power software do you use?

Hey ktoone, the race itself wasn’t disappointing – just my goof-up at the end was very disheartening/sinking feeling. Overall, it was an excellent race with excellent results from my teammates.

Wow… that’s a LOT of red in that HR data! Looks like it was a hard race from the start.
