Curious what people think a good target would be: Previously Ironman 70.3 Santa Rosa bike course - 2:32:30. Power @ 221w.
Wildflower - 2:47:10 @ 241w (I blew up on the run, but it's a DAMN tough course & heat).
My FTP is now 300. It is recommended that your 70.3 power is 75% of your FTP, so that puts me at 225w. But I feel that I can easily push more than 225w and still run really well off the bike.
What are your thoughts?
i think if you rode a 2:32 off 221w you should look at your fit. (how much do you weigh?)

but the answer is: you need to ride hard enough to go fast, but easy enough to where you can still run fast. which, can be anywhere from 75-85%. YMMV.
Don't know what's so surprising here, just did a 70.3 on Sunday: 225AP/247NP 02:30:15 78KG/187CM
Cheers
