CLARITY AND BREVITY
WE CAN MOVE SO MUCH QUICKER and be so much more effective when things are clear and concise. I can't think of a single instance where...
... our results could be so much better.
This was on my mind as I set up yet another Page view on my Wahoo.
What would be the minimal about of useful information for training?
I narrowed it down to...
- heart rate
- watts
- rpm's
... which I like then the terrain is rowdy.
On a smooth road...
- heart rate
- watts
- speed
... seems more relevant.
Why these two different views?
Well.
Simple, really.
When it's rowdy with dirt, rocks, up, down, tight turns...
... aerodynamics are much less relevant.
Keeping an eye on heart rate, and staying within a target range, seems more useful to me.
However, when it's smooth and straight and fast...
... speed changes are easy to see as we adjust our body position.
On the road, I'm more interested in figuring out how to maintain a certain speed while keeping the heart rate in check and the watts required down.
In both instances, it's all about efficiency.
Which is why I was so perplexed at the promoter's sloppy (lazy?) work for an event I'm planning on...
- Distance we are covering literally just doubled on the website
- Course map, almost impossible to locate
- Promotion, weak, at best
.... somethings are just doomed to fail.
But, not us.
We wade through the nonsense and...
... focus only on what makes sense.
