Something seems wrong here. 342W for only 24.6 mph? 300W for only 21 mph? That is big power for pretty slow speed.

1) Average watts: AP= 167 watts, norm power= 179 watts
2) Average speed in MPH: 20.59 MPH
3) Distance: 112 miles (IM Texas)
4) Rider weight: 162
5) Describe bike and wheels: Felt B2 with Sram S80 front and 88 mm deep carbon rear with wheel cover
6) Misc notes, to whine and make excuses for your lack of power and/or lack of aero: legs felt like crap. Could be lower in front but I am pretty comfortable in this position
7) Optional: a picture (or link to a picture) of you in your aero position.[/img]

Normalized power is not average power and should not be used in an aero comparison. Normalized power is a measure of the physiological toll of your workout and a means to evaluate your pacing during a TT. Average power is the variable that is applicable to evaluating energy expended vs velocity...

1) 228 watts
2) 21.1 MPH
3) 55.67 miles
4) 210 lbs
5) Speed Concept 7.0 (brezza cockpit) 808 front 900 rear
6) 1,330 ft. of climbing so pretty flat course. under 70* air temps.

6) Misc notes, to whine and make excuses for your lack of power and/or lack of aero No aero helmet, kinda baggy jersey. Non-aero front wheel, crappy tires and tubes on front wheel. Even if I fixed all those, I'm still speeding well below where my power should put me.


Every time I post in this thread it makes me sad :(

6'5 makes you stick out in the wind a bit more. Metro tri had a bit of wind and Wildflower has a bit a climbing for a bigger guy.

I see. I didn't mean to call you slow when i said 'pretty slow'! I just expected someone pushing 340W to be flying...

No offense taken. Big guys just push more watts. Sort of a "Law of diminishing returns" thing.

Triathlon race, not a TT.

1) 218 watts
2) 22.0 mph
3) 25.6 miles (forgot to shut off my Garmin on the bike leg, so I was running through a long transition with everything still running, not sure if that messes up my numbers a little)
4) 6'4", 165 lbs
5) Trek SC - 9 series with Zipp FC 808 (front/rear)
6) This was an Olympic distance triathlon, I was trying to control my heart rate instead of going all out (stupid idea...I'm still a rookie, next time haul ass), course was mostly flat without any major hills.
7) I don't have a side shot of my profile...this was from the race. I can go a little lower, but I'm training for IMAZ in November, so it needs to be a fast and "comfortable" position. I have R.A. and had 3 back surgeries L4/L5 (racing MX), so flexibility is an issue with going lower too.

  

1) Average watts 363
2) Average speed in MPH 28
3) Distance 20km
4) Rider weight 191
5) Describe bike and wheels Felt DA, ZedTech808 non-FC w/ 21mm CX tire, ZedTech900 disc w/20mm Chrono tire
6) Misc notes, to whine and make excuses for your lack of power and/or lack of aero Terrible pacing, start over 1000wt, turn exits 817-550wts, position seems adequate.
7) Optional: a picture (or link to a picture) of you in your aero position. My head's up, setting up for left hander.

Here's an interesting comparison of two very different races on exactly the same equipment:
2010 Felt B2
808 (non-FC) front, 900 disc rear, Michelin Pro4's, Giro aero helmet (can't remember exact model...)
Rider: 170 lbs, 6'-1"
FTP 276 Watts

Apr 21, 2012, Charleston Half (very flat and fast course)
Ave Power 234 Watts, Normalized 235 Watts (told you it was flat)
55.39 miles, 2:17:31, 24.2 mi/h

May 5, 2012, Ironman Saint George (rather hilly and windy)
Ave Power 188 Watts, Normalized 195 Watts
112.12 miles, 6:18:47, 17.8 mi/h (you can take off 7 minutes for bathroom and mechanical stops, but still pretty slow)

My original plan for IMSG was 195 Watts, but riding out of transition into the headwind, I quickly revised my estimate downwards. Smart decision. I'm not sure I would have finished had I pushed harder.
