For the power junkies



This is a little insight as to what training for an ironman requires. Not to mention the 1hr transition run that followed it this ride. As you can see a proper training ride for this distance requires you to hammer the whole time but remain steady. The differance between my peak 2hr power and peak 4hr power was 10watts. The total avg. power for this ride was 237watts for 90 miles in 4hrs on a hilly route. I hope to have a similar avg. power during ironman, but a faster avg. speed given that the course is flatter.
Rides like this make me look forward to cycling'ss base training!
