SubscribeYou know, I really felt that I had a good shot at the @racermate #computrainer (see I’m still flogging the brand):
- I have a good and compelling story
- I make solid use of social media
- I train hard and my training is publicly visible on my blog and on dailymile
I can honestly say, I don’t get it. I’m happy for the winner, congratulations to Maria, but having looked at her blog and her dailymile stats, I’m perplexed. I don’t want to sound like a bitter loser, but I definitely feel that way. *sigh*
On a different note, over the last few weeks I started seriously looking at power meters, and while I think that the computrainer is a great device able to provide you a lot of information on your cycling while on a trainer in you workout room, they fall down as soon as the weather improves and you want to be on the roads.
For consistent training data, you probably want to look more to an on-board power meter, like the Cyclops Powertap or some of the units built into the crank arms. Of course, if you have multiple bikes and/or multiple wheelsets this can get very spendy, very quickly. Still deals are to be had on ebay, craigslist and the like.
So, now that I’m an official loser, I’ll turn my attention to deal-finding-mode and content myself with Spinervals, Sufferfest, IM Kona, and other PVR’d tv shows.
*grumble*grumble*
