Looking for some tips to get better on the bike. I'll be racing sprints, and oly and a flat 70.3 this year. I'm riding on an indoor trainer 3 times a week (going to 4 next month) at 1-2 hrs a session. I'm using a combo of a spinervals DVD, indoor cycling workouts in a binder, and a IM training plan that's modified. I'm riding a Cevelo Dual, was fitted at a LBS (he wasn't certified, but was in line with what a friends FIST certified fitting was) and will be picking up a disc cover for the race season. I've been mostly MOP, but my times on the trainer suck. I'm 5'9 and 145-150 lbs.
I'm getting a bonus from work and wondeirng if it's worth it to pick up a power meter (I'm a tech geek), or just put the money towards something else and hammer it out more on the bike. I'm keeping track of the workouts, so I'm able to see some progress, but comparing last season's race times, I see it possible to drop 5-10 minutes off my bike on all the courses.
