race number and powerpod
Posted: Sun Jun 06, 2021 1:54 pm
Hello John,
today i took part in a mtb race. I brought my PP v3 to keep the power in check, but upon putting the number on the handlebar I realized it would block the wind port. However, during the warm up it seemed that the watts were quite correct, so I decided to race without changing anything. Only later, looking at the segments on strava, I see that the power was quite low, and the NP also seemed low. Clearly it is not a complaint, it is obvious that in those conditions the PP could not function properly. But I ask you if you could kindly correct the power profile, to get more realistic data. For the next times I will try to study a different solution, even if it does not seem easy to me (any suggestion is welcome). I add a photo of the positioning (you can not see very well but I hope it will be useful). It must be said that the weather conditions were a bit extreme and after about an hour and a half it started to rain, but I don't think that was what caused the problem.
Thank you!
