Well, I figured I would post it here as I am likely to get more reasonable and informed answers.

I figured I would give this whole power training thing a try, so I went out and did a power test today (FTP) according tot eh instructions on the "Training and Racing with a Powermeter" book. My power tap sends info to the Garmin 705, so that is where I downloaded the file from in TCX format to my iMac. Now, I am having a hard time finding a way to analyze it. I downloaded Golden Cheetah since I had read about it, but the software seems to be staling and locking on me. I can guesstimate some things from there, like my FTP, but I could have guesstimated even without doing the test itself.

I would prefer not to have to pay for any ongoing services for now like Training Peaks and such.

Suggestions??
