Wewt, I'm wondering if I could actually use this in a race. Guess I'll find out in April hehe
When I'm <142 HR or so I'm loafing pretty hard. I figure that's my guesstimate for what I can do and have a legit 10k run after (like sub 50m), my experience last year was an effort On a 40k where I averaged 144 HR I was a little Cooked for the run. But I'm a better runner now so I dunno.
I figure I need to spend way more time on my flexibility because supposedly my speed on a TT should be way higher if this power is real (People are saying maybe 1:05 ish in a 40k with some vert) my PR is 1:12 heh. Of course I've always been in fear of blowing up on the run
It was never that my bike leg was super weak its that my run sucks so I have to watch it, eg a solid effort for me gets me 50th percentile AG on the run :p
On a side note this makes me think I can uncork my swim a little, too
At my weight I'll need 316w to hit midpoint of cat3 (3.76 w/kg), heh. Maybe I'll give myself a year lol

That's what I mean-- flexibility is limiting me. Also on a side not its probably only realistic to go 80-90% of 1-hr ftp on a tri bike leg, so that's probably closer to a 1:09. Even then 90% is a solid conditioned person I'm guessing. I probably have to shoot for 80%
Edit: googling suggest 85-95% off to for oly 40k bike leg
So say if my 1-hr ftp is really 290w, I shouldn't use more than 250w
To throw some #s out there I'd be targeting a 47 minute 10k after this (7:30 pace) which is actually below my current PR (48:22) lol, although I should be able to,go 46:xx right now

I'll quietly poke my head in here briefly. Staying off of CSi once you've been off for awhile is actually very easy. That lack of overwhelming negativity. 
Let's see. Only got about 2600 miles in for the year. Did a bunch of offroad, though, so that made for shorter mileage (I often think of nato saying "pay attention to hours, not miles--good advice there). Did some weekly MTB group rides over the summer that were a blast--last time I did a MTB group ride was in 1993. I think the MTB will be coming into play way more in 2016.
MS150 will be ridden again.
Raced a bit of cross. Did a few Wednesday night races under the lights in a city park. Very mellow--no placing or numbers--just get out and rage in a race setting. Did a proper cross race last weekend though. Placed 3rd from last and had a blast doing so.
Current cross bike is a 2011 (?) Ridley X-Ride frameset that I built up in early November, IIRC. It's right around 20.5 lbs and it fits me perfectly.
Still warm out, so trainer banishment has been minimal.
So there's your update. I dunno when I'll start popping in regularly again. We'll see.
Hope everyone is good.

lol it's true. and I hate the sea otter courses, I rode most of them this year. The demo forest stuff in Santa Cruz is sooo much better, and the flow trail etc all
but good luck in Sea Otter ofc, I'm sure you'll do well. This year with the drought it was like tatooine or something. The santa cruz redwood forest areas are still really nice tho, but not sure how many more years the redwoods would hold out. fortunately thats academic at this point: shits flooded
sea otter is a damn big race thats for sure, geebus
my excuse for not going this year is I'm doing the wildflower 70.3 apr 30 and the SF half marathon apr 3, and the HMB tri apr 17 lol cant really sandwich anything else haha. I'm already pretty sure that I might die in the 70.3
I'd be happy to take you through demo if you'd like tho around one of those weekends. shits money
ooh and first "ride" of the year just now #nailed_it
https://www.strava.com/activities/466168571
lol. I have no idea what mileage to shoot for this year. Guessing 2-2500

I just ordered a new frameset a few minutes ago 
Williams Aeros Gemini. Aero aluminum, carbon fork. I guessing it'll be sub-18 lbs with my current parts on it. Likely won't build it up for a couple of months, as the cross bike will be the primary outdoor bike until the snow is gone (which won't be anytime soon).
Also did a 2x9 conversion on my MTB just to make it more liveable.

Frame is showing up on Monday. Stay tuned. I'll be getting some compact bars (the Williams ones look really nice and are only ~$70) and a new stem for it. I already have a new Ultegra braze-on front derailleur for it.
Their customer service is insane. The president of the company e-mailed me with a video on how to do the cable routing. I thanked him profusely and he told me not to hesitate to call if there were any issues building it up. Top notch service.
It's still on "holiday sale" for $399.99 with free shipping for frame/fork/headset, so it's a ludicrous deal.
I have to install some different rings on the 2x9. It's a Deore with external BB. The 38/26 on it is a little steep for me, even with an 11-34 cassette. I have 24/34 rings that I have to throw on. That bike's a 2004 FS 26'er, so it's not in vogue at all. However, I can keep up with the front of the pack of the "fast group" on the group rides I was doing all summer, so it still suits me fine. The 2x9 will solve all of the issues of that stupid triple.

BTW--
I was just thinking of this.
I can't find it, but there was a thread about "getting chicked" in a race/tri. I mentioned getting chicked by a chick named Becca at the local Tuesday night TT.
That was Becca Fahringer, who recently placed 6th at cyclocross nationals. 
Very cool to see her becoming the elite of the elite, tho. She's quite the badass.

Laurel (I don't know her last name--she's @laurelridesbikes on IG) on Raliegh Clement is a knockout tho.
Becca's got an amazing body. All muscle. 
How 'bout dat U23 bish who had the motor in her bike at worlds?!

Those wheels are FLY. 
Sadly (for you), I'm set in the wheel dept at the moment.
Here's the new frameset (with my cat peeking in saying "dafuq this?")
...and my cross bike in winter road trim

It's fixed, has a known resistance curve based on rpm, it's progressive and shouldn't hit a cap until at least 2-3k watts, I presume the problem is in the sift software somewhere
