We have threads dedicated to workouts, FTP gains and other awesomeness. How about celebrating those luscious little Trainerroad PR trophies we never tire of seeing popup after we upload our workouts?
I whacked 86 of those bad boys in 100 degree heat tonight. Damn it felt good…
Despite a poor start (couldn’t clip in, damaged nerve endings) I managed to PB the club TT. My mate did it at the same speed as me but 16s faster. So I’ve got a lot to gain by clipping in right
Any PR’s will do. Congrats on the KOM and the PR’s. I got a crown along with, or because of really, my PR’s today. As Lionel Sanders said, “there is something unusually satisfying about a KOM.” No idea what it is but the TR Trophies especially so and the occasional Strava PR are still motivating in the absence of racing.
Definitely that and a double decker. It was a north west wind when I did this last Saturday which got me going and when I had a sidewind I was nicely sitting in the draft of a double decker. I was gutted when they pulled off into the hospital
Skipped my Tuesday workout and woke up Wednesday mad. Decided to ride my “test yourself” ride at high noon as punishment. 95 degrees F and high humidity to boot. Beat my PR by over 2 min over the ~60 min ride. IF of 0.85 and I think if the weather was cooler, I could up that…
Best part (besides the positive trendline) was smack texting the screenshot to my friend whom I passed on the leader board.
For the NP/AP discussion, trainingpeaks explains it like this:
For very short intervals , normalized power can be lower than average power . This is because that when calculating normalized power , each data point in the selected range is calculated using the entirety of the 30 seconds prior to itself, which is the basis of NP.
