Try to be more concise next time. Trim it down a bit.

[DrWJODonnell]

Your title is way too long.

[ElJamoquio]

This thread needs less talking and more graphs.

[Dubbayoo]

The "." was totally unnecessary. Congrats.

[patentcad]

Good job ElJ. You are faster than me. But that's not hard.

[Ih8lucky13]

Congrats on the w. Did you have pontoons attached to your bike?

[Geoff326]

Go easy on me, the power output is a little embarassing in my aero tuck.

[TheKillerPenguin]

sweet.

[bdcheung]

Still more power than I can lay down in an hour.

Go easy on me, the power output is a little embarassing in my aero tuck.

I was going to say that it looks like you have a very efficient position on the bike, based on the power output versus the speed. And the number that matters is speed, not watts.

[king-tony]

Congrats. I'd glady trade my 32 watts for your 1.4 mph. Looks like you were flying the last 1/4 of the race.

nice!!

Do you give some credit to the powertap?

[GuitarWizard]

Damn.....you're a slippery little *******, eh? Impressive.

[Snuffleupagus]

A bit over 40k...looks like you did a 56:00 (or thereabouts) 40k.

Well done.

[ElJamoquio]

nice!!

Do you give some credit to the powertap?

Actually, all of the credit goes to the PT. All I had to do was soft pedal. Thank god I went for the auxillary-hub-motor-and-battery option. <Insert smiley face here.>


Unfortunately it was a little damp this morning; couldn't see well, and I didn't use the PT for pacing. I guess I don't need that crutch, but I'd still be really nervous to race without it.

[MDcatV]

Congratulations:)

[ElJamoquio]

Congrats on the w. Did you have pontoons attached to your bike?

It's rather embarrassing how long it took me to figure out the pontoon comment.

The flood had cleared by yesterday morning. The promoter had changed the start times and the course, but (luckily, for me at least) managed to change the course back to the long one by early morning.

(awesome)

[TheJackMove]

Congrats. 26.4+ mph with ~288 watts is freakin sweet.

[botto]

The "." was totally unnecessary. Congrats.

[Cleave]

Hello,

Very nice.

However, this is why I don't own a power meter. If I saw power data from my miserable 40K TT on Saturday I'd end up selling all of my bikes and play video games for the rest of my shortened life. ;)

[wanders]

Congratulations. Pardon my ignorance, but what are the 3 dives on the power graph?

[LowCel]

The "." was totally unnecessary. Congrats.

Fixed. :D

Congrats ElJamoquio.

[recursive]

Congratulations. Pardon my ignorance, but what are the 3 dives on the power graph?

Turns?

[EventServices]

Either the turn-arounds, or smoke breaks.

[wanders]

Turns?

Yes, yes... a square. I was thinking an out and back would have one. A square course would have 3.:o

[Munk69]

Grats ElJ!

[brett_beddow]

Yes, yes... a square. I was thinking an out and back would have one. A square course would have 3.:o

The course was out 10k then back 10k making it 3 turn arounds.

[JohnKScott]

Nice job!
