>>but once you get much over 90 minutes, you can see how indoor riding deserves some more points! <<

You will never convince me. Maybe I'll get on Slowman's fit bike and spin at 5 mph for 3 hours watching a movie. Yeah, that would be tough. Or not.

"I really wish you would post more often. You always have some good stuff to say. I copied it below just in case someone missed it." BarryP to Chainpin on 10/21/06

The way to "game" the points system is to run, a lot, and every day.

WED
Run 113 mins = 113 pts
Swim 17 mins* = 11 pts
Wed total = 124 pts

* yes, a lousy f'n 17 mins of swimming. I get to the club, and the "deep water aerobics" is not quite over yet. Blue hair fiesta. When it ends, I immediately jump in the newly created lap lane (the pool is only 15y long, so "swimming" here sucks at its best), and get going. After 2-3 laps, I now have a half dozen lanemates, and we start circle swimming. The youngest of my group (besides me) is probably low 70's. So, I'm doing fist drills, then RaLA drills, and still swimming up the back of everybody, even when I give them a half length head start after each length.
After 17 mins I just gave up. Couldn't do it anymore.
Of course, by the time I get cleaned up and dressed and head back to my appt at work, the pool is now nearly empty..... <heavy sigh>

April 11th:

67 minutes in the pool = 44.66 points ( do we round up/down, to the .5? )

Camp total: 372.66

And for the record, at least today, there *is* snow in downtown Chicago. Heh. Perhaps more slush than anything else, and probably not skiable, but it's still snow. ;)

I ride Felt.

Cathy, if you can spin for 3hours at 5 mph, you deserve 120 points. My butt hurts thinking about how painful such a ride would be. I think most people around here are honest enough to claim points if and when they do a "real workout".

Anyway, I wanted to do an update tonite, but I have too much work related stuff to get done before I go to bed. Next update, hopefully over lunch hour tomorrow.

Do you take any strokes or do you just do flip turns for the entire swim? :-)

Hey Astroman....I am supposed to be back in Tokyo May 20-21-22. I am hoping to synch up with KS for some riding like last year if scheduling works out...I should have all day on the Sunday free.

"If there aren't any points for going hard or easy why does it matter if I ride inside or out."

I will give you two reasons:

1. Inside on the trainer = no coasting

2. Inside on the trainer = no stop lights, stop signs, yieding, etc.

If you take total pedaling time I bet the point system is pretty close.

No matter how you slice it, somebody will think it ain't right. I think riding PCs should be worth more points than riding regular or trainer, but why overcomplicate things. Trainer/spin/CT bike is fat points, so I leave the road bike with it's PCs until next week.

Meanwhile, upon further review I f-ed up the math and Day 5 total should have been 318 instead of 316, so I was carbon yesterday and didn't even know it. I think all this training is making me stupid...
Or was I stupid before all this started?

Day Six
Morning run 1:02 = 62
Swim 0:53 = 35.3
Spin 1:28 = 58.7
brick run = 0:47 = 47
Day Six Total = 203
Six day total of 1454.5

I hear an echoing sound in my nearly empty gas tank. I'm holding on tight for Friday, because I'll probably be doing approximately nada on Saturday and Sunday. I'm hoping to run, but probably no more than 60-90 minutes each day.

After the ride with intervals and a steady brik run I was quite tired. Therefore I skipped the run this morning.
