How long does the season go, and how late might you be accepting applications? no smart trainer, but I have a quarq on order that's currently somewhere between San Francisco and the Canadian border. I'd be interested once I get that set up. I'm assuming that's acceptable in lieu of a smart trainer.
The last race is December 15th - a TTT.
A Quarq should be fine. According to the rules even zPower (no power measurement at all) is OK, though zPower racers only get 1/2 points.
Not having a heartrate measurement also results in 1/2 points.
So everyone should try to have both, if possible. (assuming a goal is to be competitive with points).
