I would consider myself and another guy my height (6'4) to be the strongest pursuit riders at our track. If only I could find 2 more and we could take a run at 2015 pan am games in TP, since we (canada) don't even have a men's team AT ALL right now. Not sure exactly the reason, but TT guys are usually tall, looks at Fabian hes like 12 feet tall.


Regarding the kilo, I was curious on peak and average power, and what the drop looks like (ie what does lap 2 look like vs lap 4). From the sounds there isn't much pacing to it and its just all out.

What do you guys think of the accuracy of http://www.analyticcycling.com/DiffE...Kilo_Page.html ? I plugged a few numbers in and it looks like a 1:10 can be done with an average power of 600w and a peak of around 1300. Peak power is interesting though as you obviously can't reach peak power until you get some RPM, so is it safe to assume you don't hit the same peak power in a kilo as you would in say a rolling sprint?

Another thing I noticed is if you play with the weight how little difference it makes, I thought on a standing start kilo it would be more. For example 10lbs less weight cut the same time as 5 watts. On a 600w effort 5w is nothing, but to drop 10lbs without effecting power is pretty tough for most people.

I really need to get a PM for the track, Ive had one for the road for a while and become dependent on the data I think!
