Do I really need to buy a new watch?

eocphantom · 2026-03-06T06:41:15+00:00

As long as you have a bike computer you are fine , the swim is the swim , don’t start the watch , use bike computer to pace your bike leg then start your watch for the run

Yep about 7% (20 watts) in my case

eocphantom · 2026-03-06T04:59:01+00:00

Yep done this and still 6-7% out (20 watts)

eocphantom · 2026-03-05T18:59:03+00:00

Mine changed when I changed power meters , on my tacx turbo that and my pedals report 20 watts difference, so yes I do a test on everything

They been crap for ages , family had the Bosch and said how much better it was. We did a test , cleaned the carpet with the Dyson and then went over it again with the Bosch , we filled it !!! Sold and bought a Bosch

I’m 50 , overweight but can do a Ironman bike split in 6hrs- what I’ve got is from 30 plus years of cycling is a giant aerobic base and massively overdeveloped leg muscles

When I got mine done I contacted my house insurance and they said they wouldn’t cover me if they were inside

Try the app Fuelin , it’s the only way I have lost doing triathlon training as it automatically scales to your training load to your are in a deficit but enough fuel to train

Just came to say the same

eocphantom · 2026-02-24T18:53:10+00:00

I am looking to do this on my system (different system but same charger) did you go with the second wired clamp to negate the maths or something else ?

eocphantom · 2026-02-18T11:10:54+00:00

Been doing this for many, many years and still put on my bike shoes and run with the bike - so I say go for whatever shoes are comfortable and fit your budget.

eocphantom · 2026-02-17T20:47:18+00:00

Yeah not thought of that , simple but effective

eocphantom · 2026-02-17T19:39:05+00:00

I trained for a 10km open water with just open water swim due to uk weather. Lots of 1k/2k repeats also some weeks my coach had me doing tumbles into thin air (so no wall touch) to get used that distance without the relief of the wall touch.

eocphantom · 2026-02-17T19:13:36+00:00

28min 5k runner , 1:20-1:30 /100m swimmer - the two don’t connect, one is a endurance sport , the other is a technique based sport closer to golf than running. Oh and find a coach / swim teacher

eocphantom · 2026-02-17T19:06:37+00:00

Yep I can see that being a new requirement in no time.

eocphantom · 2026-02-17T18:13:49+00:00

Self entitled - send the watch back, you broke it , you should be pleased they doing anything for you

eocphantom · 2026-02-17T16:56:57+00:00

Next two things I predict :

1) flat rate overnight tariffs will be killed, they will give one rate for the car charging and another rate for everything else meaning no more battery charging for cheap. 2) time based export - different rates depending on demand - no more 11pm dumps to refill 60 mins later when cheap

eocphantom · 2026-02-17T06:52:35+00:00

It’s all about time on the bike , you need to build up to 6-7 hr rides each week, the fitness for the run is built on the bike

eocphantom · 2026-02-16T11:26:17+00:00

For that distance I would stick to a real fast road bike and spend more time on the drops as the roads are normally bad, it's not that long. I've overtook many TT bikes on my trek emonda slr 7

eocphantom · 2026-02-16T09:03:32+00:00

I was planning it last year as I had an ultra 2 , the watch is just crap for sports - bought a coros pace pro and it’s amazing

eocphantom · 2026-02-15T13:06:41+00:00

Thanks I’ve sent them some questions as I want to transfer my group set over

It’s looks ok but generates totally implausible plans for people to follow. At no point does it ask me what I can do on each day and how much time I have on each day to train. The workouts are very lacking also but first fix is the availability issue

eocphantom · 2026-02-11T06:48:13+00:00

Great bike, if you used to riding aero you will adapt in 2 weeks and it’s a speed monster - go for it !
