All excellent point. I knew there was a reason I was getting back on the tri bike now for an IM 11 months from now :wink:

Iā€™m a huge advocate of getting on your tri bike sometime during your general prep period and all through race-specific prep. Iā€™m of the opinion that if you donā€™t like training on your tri bike then thereā€™s a fundamental problem that needs to be addressed. As fundamental as maybe youā€™re even in the wrong sportā€¦

Btw, your post is quite timely as Iā€™ve been wanting to raise this issue with the group of guys I work with who constantly through around ideas on training and racing with power. I was actually serious when I said Iā€™d like to call it TFTP. What AC has done with the development of the NP construct has definitely set the foundation for how we apply it to triathlon. I just think thereā€™s an additional specificity requirement/emphasis for long course tri.

Hope that makes sense to peopleā€¦

Thanks, Chris
