The big Ironman in Hawaii has just taken place and following on from it a few interesting blog entries:
http://blog.trainingpeaks.com/2008/10/ask-the-experts-asker-jeukendrup-on-ironman-performance-and-nutrition.html - Using 16 gels in a bottle for nutrition. Certainly a simple solution. Will give it a try.
http://www2.trainingbible.com/joesblog/2008/10/most-common-ironman-mistake.html - Importance of keeping smooth power profile during a long ride (VI target should be less then 1.05. My rides are more like 1.18, however will be different for rides like sportives I guess)
http://www2.trainingbible.com/joesblog/2008/10/llanos-power-hawaii-2008.html Top performer stats: 4 hour power of 270W/3.75W/kg. For same weight my 4 hours is 230W. Not quite the same but not bad as Joe Friel's rule of thumb is 2.9-3.3 W/kg for young amateurs with half a percent knocked off for every year abover 35. So I should be around 221W, so actually a bit better.
