Since you 'Tri' I guess you use the stroller as well. That's a whole nother happiness. When the wind is killing me and I just don't feel like continuing my 3 y/o kicks into a wonderful rendition of 'Twinkle Twinkle' that makes me forget all the pain and discomfort.
The trailer is a Chariot Cougar 1. I've used both my CAAD8 and my P2C tri bike to pull it. It's pretty funny doing TT intervals on the tri bike and you're going 4-5mph slower than normal... In general, if you're holding a steady 20-23 on flats or slight uphills you're working pretty hard. I don't have any data because for rides like these I refuse to let my electronics ruin the fun.
