Training with Power

It's time for something bike related on this blog . . . so I had decided that I wouldn't be getting a PowerTap and I would continue to be old school and use a heart rate monitor. Don't get me wrong I love gadgets and I appreciate being able to train in the most efficient manner possible given my lack of time. However, I also like to be frugal and the bike riding and racing expenses do count up quickly.

But now that Saris is going to be sponsoring the Mad FORCs I've decided that I need to support the sponsor and be more familiar with their products. That means that there is a PowerTap in my future.

My biggest fear is that Ben will now know that I'm a much bigger slacker than he realized. Oh wait, I think he knows that after last summer's total lack of time for training. I'm looking forward to training with power and seeing what everyone is talking about. I hope that it really does help make my training more efficient and precise as I need that. However, I will not be posting about the watts I put out on every ride . . . I think that might be embarassing and not at all brag worthy!
