ive been reading a lot on here and various blogs and have put together plan to get serious on my tri training.
background: goals are sprints this year and olympic distance events next. so far ive been running consistently and stationary bikes at the gym/bricks with a treadmill.
i am just getting out of autoracing and am a data logger geek from that. i had gps track mapping, accelerometers, engine rpms, throttle position, temps,etc. datalogged on my car.
due to work/kids in daycare/wife, weekday training will be in the basement (and probably lots of weekends)
i will be starting up a trainer road tri structured program in the next week
i just purchased a bike (still waiting for shoes to show up)
cannodale slice 105(2011 floor model, no miles) , pedals, tr9 shoes
swimming i have a very light spring and light full suit from surfing, if needed.
i picked up a used treadmill this last weekend.
i would like to be able to record/view real time indoor/outdoor training and during events (bike/run cadence, hr,power, pace time,etc). i want to be able to match outdoor efforts with indoor training numbers..
my tentative list for training equipment is : bike cadence sensor, wahoo kickr snap, a 4iiii power meter, garmin 935 (for datalog/viewer and built in cadence/hr sensors). total would be about $1500.
bike trainers i am looking at (after reading here/dc rainmaker) are tacx flux, wahoo kickr snap, wahoo kickr, hammer. i am leaning heavily towards the kickr snap. price plus no additional tools or cassette needed to purchase (im on 10sp). going to a direct drive would push the 935 off the list and power meter would still need a viewer. or scrap 935/power meter and go direct drive?
let me know if that sounds solid from an equipment standpoint. think i have bases covered for indoor training with minimal $ to get there and not wanting to upgrade in 6 months.
thanks!
