Thanks, Lynn, for sharing your training experiences and good luck on the rest of the season! Computrainer is a REALLY effective tool in this way. I can concentrate on the drills which my coach has laid out for me that session without interruption. I am on a real course in the comfort of my own home. I am not pressured to ride outdoors in rush hours or at night, nor am I contained to a small circuit doing laps. …On Training Indoors, Even in the Summer Obviously one major advantage is the safety.
With a little extra indoor complimentary training and getting to know the subtle intricacies of each of these challenging routes, I will for sure fly out there on the real courses on race day! Courses like this have been where I have encountered difficulties in the past. Both are quite erratic in terms of rolling hills intertwined with longer jams. One of these is the Gravenhurst Olympic and the other is my big goal race, the Dublin 70.3. As I continue to train over the summer I will have more opportunity to ride them again at least one or two more times.
I have a couple of more races coming up, and I have been able to ride each of these just once. I aced the course, being the first woman off the bike out of 133. I was well prepared and knew every bump and turn. So far, I have used the trainer to ride the Milton Course a few times before the event I completed this year. I also love having the watts output visible along with the ability to set up a “race” with other riders at various speeds/wattages with whom I have to keep up. Being born with hip displasia and later developing a bit of scoliosis, it is imperative for me to have a proper bike fit and efficient output so that I don’t get back pain and gait issues running off the bike. …On Using the Computrainer I love watching my efficiency “donut”. Of late, I am enjoying one or two 70.3 distance events per year, mixed in with several other sprint and olympic distance events. Just a favourite course type, and that is a challenging hilly bike course. I am not sure I have a favourite distance as of yet. I completed one corporate event with a friend at the Milton site in 1995 and then I completed the Kingston Sprint event back in 1995 with Cindy. She thought I would be well suited for the sport. Cindy was taking the course to improve her cycling skills for triathlon. I got started through a friend who was taking a Learn To Race (Road Cycling) Course I was assisting with. …On Triathlons I have been doing triathlons for just about 20 years now. We are happy to welcome Lynn to our blog to discuss her training and how she uses the Computrainer. We like to think BikeWatts has played a part in achieving her successes.
So far she’s had a great race season, placing highly in her age group. Since then, she’s become stronger on the bike and enjoyed the convenience the Computrainer provides. Like many other triathletes, Lynn Tougas is dedicated to her sport.īack in early spring, Lynn won a BikeWatts Computrainer rental from an event hosted by Toronto Triathlon Club.
