Did you have a “Hello Kitty” shirt on?

Yes i did;) i work Sanrio and eamted to have some fun for canada and kona.

Good run (3:39) for those conditions.
I can’t speak for your aerodynamics but if you really want to get your time down then I’d focus on riding more steady. Being completely candid, a VI of 1.12 indicates a lot of wasted speed in my experience.
Thanks, Chris
chris,
Nice ride!!!

I think that your calculated** IF** is a bit off 302/370=**81.6% **No wonder the run wasn’t much fun;)

Am I reading it right - your minimum HR was 0? How did that feel 
Also how can min cadence be 33 with min speed 0…

Run Split: Who cares - I don’t run or swim in trainingI only looked at the 5’5", and not the 1.96 meters… I was going to say you probably need to lose despite your statement not to.
Sorry 6’5’’
Not one of the 270 people that passed me on the run was taller than me. I kept track, you need something to do out there on the long walk!

Hey Dave!
That must have been my min HR from the run at the point I thought I was dead. 
With the exception of power, I usually take the min/max numbers with a grain of salt. Btw, cadence is coming from the hub and not a cadence sensor. Avg cadence is reasonably accurate.
Thanks, Chris
Well, am I allowed to use normalized power numbers from a 1 hour crit race as my estimate of FTP?
In that case you can put down a FTP of 420 (average power 280) as my best of the season. NP is an estimate of something, AP is a measurement, I train and .
370 is an average power FTP from a 40km ITT on a TT bike on a day with about the same VI as IMC, 1.10
I’m not saying I don’t think I went too hard. I probably went too hard. But what would you rather have. A pretty mediocre bike ride by my standards and a run that still isn’t guaranteed to be good, or a great ride that I can be proud of and a very enjoyable run that was pretty damn slow on the way home?

How about 5hr power from your MMP chart?
I believe the answer to your question is that you want the result that produces the fastest overall time. The athlete needs to remove any emotion attached to the perception of having a “good” or “mediocre” bike. I believe this is exactly why people so often fail to achieve their full potential in this sport. They have to let go of their egos on the bike. By my standards or desires, my bike time time was pretty much mediocre and run time was only slightly better, relatively speaking, but my overall time/result was awesome. That’s all that matters otherwise you’re doing the wrong sport.
Try uploading to the garmin training center. It’s what they suggested for my larger files. Worked well
I am doing the right sport. It’s called bike racing.
I also happen to have thrown in an Ironman at the end of the summer for fun.
Did I have fun, yes.
And to quote a smartass: “That’s all that matters otherwise you’re doing the wrong sport.”

Obviously I offended you. That wasn’t my intention. You asked the question, “What would you rather have…?” and I tried to answer it honestly and candidly, from a general perspective. I have to assume that most everyone out there truly wants to produce the fastest time possible. You can just ignore what I said.
Why did you bother posting your ride data if your situation was so unique anyway? (rhetorical question)
The situation isn’t unique: 99% of people are in the sport to have fun.
I posted the data because I rode a bike on the same course on the same day.
If people want to figure out what kind of power is required for various bike splits on this course (i.e. the actual topic of conversation in this thread) then this datapoint will be interesting for those people.
