I survived my threshold test. My 20 minute average was only 283 watts with an average heart rate of 159. I believe the 30 degree weather might have hurt me some as far as my numbers go but it gives me a starting point at least.

Don't worry about the e-wang numbers right now. You have a baseline and a coach. If 2011 is going to be a base year, then they'll get your weight down and your FTP up. I hope it's not, and you wind up trying at least some mid season training races after a spring of hammerfest group rides.

Best of luck, LowCel. Your legs will come back.

2nd road ride in a week...woohoo. 3 rides in 3 days. Not a bad start to the year. After the cold spell we've had in the east this weekend was a nice break.

Got in a 50 mile ride today. Did the first 25 miles with a group of 8 and then was feeling good legs so I set forth solo for an additional 25 miles.

Just got my powermeter today. Did a 20 min test. I suck less than I anticipated.

https://connect.garmin.com/activity/61832892

3.89 W/kg, which I'm pretty happy with for this point in the year. I want to get it above 4.0 W/kg in the next month or two.

Thanks. I'm sure you'll be able to get there. You've lost quite a bit of weight and seem to be heading in the right direction.

Did this today, planned on taking it really easy, but around 10 miles in I decided I felt really good and pushed it a bit.

You should upgrade to version 0.003. I hear the maps are much better.

It was windy, and my feet got cold. I need to figure out this whole cold feet thing out if I am going to keep riding outside...

Anyone else having problems with GarminConnect? I'm not able to get on it for some reason.
