They are pretty dumb. Not as dumb as the NFL's replay rules. Those are really dumb.

Was that really a zone 5 ride for you?

No... I think all my zones got reset too. I'm having (was having) Garmin issues.

That's good. If 18mph was zone 5, either you have a ton of work to do over the winter or that was one heck of a headwind.

VG, did you update the Garmins' firmware recently? If so, maybe that caused it to lose settings?
Also, remember leave wheel & crank magnets Not in-line with sensor when storing bike to reduce chances of
battery drain.

I don't even know my zones. But I can tell you I wasn't feeling taxed. Something else I need to figure out.

I updated training center and I think that did something, because when I hook it up, it says something about resetting device info.

The Garmin sets the HR zone from what you set as your peak heart rate. It's user configurable. You can find out what your maximum heart rate is (within reason) by doing several VO2Max intervals after a good warmup. Since you don't have any hills, that means flat out for 5 minutes, as hard as you can go, against the wind if you can. Do two of them and average the peak heart rate, then set your zones against that. Knowing your HR zones will help you structure your training, as well as keep you from going out too hard in the bike leg of the tri only to suffer in the run. A 56 mile time trial is no easy effort. I've only done 25 mile TT's and I couldn't walk afterwards.

I agree they need to stop pretending these are amateur athletes going to school to get an education. Something needs to be done about the NCAA being treated as a minor league by the NFL/NBA etc. But the NFL and NBA are the most prominent "abusers".

I'm talking about Pryor, Boom Heron, etc. getting suspended 5 games...starting next season...for selling sports memorabilia.

I don't understand why their suspension doesn't start with the bowl game either. Well, I do, it's so the NCAA and owners of the bowl games can make more money, but I think it's hard to argue that it's not farcical.

This is good info. I'll work on getting these numbers in the next few days. Thanks shovel.

I think there should be a legitimate way for NCAA athletes to earn some cash (for living) from their endeavors. A problem is that most programs are already losing money as it is and can't pay all the student athletes.

Where's rjones? I was kidding about banning him.

The NCAA is the most corrupt agency in sports. Period. End of story.
