Have signed up for an indoor triathlon for the first time. These are the race details:
Scores will be based on how much distance each participant covers in a specific amount of time.
I'm not particularly familiar with spin bikes and so curious with regard to the note about resistance settings. Do spin bikes just gauge power and convert to distance? Since this event is at a gym that I don't have access to and I don't anticipate having much time in transition other than to alter seat height, get shoes on etc., what would be the best strategy for quickly establishing resistance to maximize my mileage? Should I anticipate a high cadence (100-110) on the spin bike as for a TT?
Any advice appreciated - thanks.
