Honestly; I couldn’t be less interested in arguing over protocols or core sensors. You can agree or disagree with the papers elsewhere.
How in the lord does everyone deal with the sheer volume of sweat produced?
60-90mins in the heat suit at 240 (fleece overtights, longsleeve base, fleece top synthetic down jacket, buff) and my floor is flooded. We’re talking comfortably a litre to two litres of fluid on the floor and another litre saturated into my clothing.
The bike is on a trainer mat, which is on now on a tarp on a laminate floor. I have a sweat catcher on the bike, a towel over that, and a towel on the floor under the bike and i’m still flooding the bloody room. I’ve had to put a dehumidifier in to help clear up after.
Then it’s everything I’m wearing into a plastic tub to carry to the utility room whilst I drip sweat through the house (or walk naked dripping slightly less sweat hoping nobody looks in the window), only to have to retrace my steps with another towel after my shower to clean up after myself.
Anyone tried putting their turbo in a kids paddling pool?
My puddle never leaves my area of horse stall mat in the corner of my gym so don’t need to worry about the collection.
We have been discussing a commercial/crawl space type dehumidifier that would also handle circulating/filtering air in the finished parts of the basement because during the warmer months I can raise the humidity 30% plus in the basement even on long rides not just sessions with the fans off. On a cooler morning the windows are dripping so need to control the moisture in the air more so than the puddle.
I usually pull my shirt off once the cool down section starts and kick the fans on. Then either extend and pedal a bit or just grab phone and update all the apps while I sit there another few min cooling after the cool down. Generally don’t even unclip and get off until I feel like the fans cooled me off enough that I’m not producing new sweat.
Leave the fans blowing on bike/floor for a bit after I leave the room.
