  1. It will be interesting to see the Polar HR data from today's ride by Knaven. He's one of a handful
    of riders who have their HR info available at: tdf.polar.fiheartrates.html But
    he's the first stage winner of the bunch. It will be fun to see how he managed his ride with the
    breakaway and attack. Probably will be posted tomorrow.

    Cool site, great info. Take a look at Mancebo, Stage 8, L'Alpde d'Huez.

    The grade on L'Alpe is highly non-uniform, yet he maintains a quite steady HR there. Lesson for
    the masses?

    Should be, if they haven't learned it already. I remember the first time I did a very-familiar local
    climb using an HRM to stay at LT (which I'd sussed via conconi-style testing). I was firstly amazed
    at how much more my gearing and tempo varied with gradient changes, and secondly by finishing the
    climb with a PR while feeling fresher at the top than I ever had before. Darned useful devices, if
    you take the time to learn your LT.

    The HR data from these TdF participants isn't nearly as interesting as the data from Mattis
    of Webcor.

    Come on Ewoud.

    Please be nice to Dan, he hasn't been around for awhile.

    I wasn't sure if I was being nice or not, my first thought after reading Dan's line was: "yes it
    is!", but when I checked the graph: well mm mmm, maybe it's not "highly non-uniform" but not very
    regular either. So no comment, just the url.

  8. I predict that his HR will be moderately high, then higher still towards the end.

    (Yawn.)

    Yeah: that there's a significant time delay (half-life ~30 s) between changes in exercise intensity
    and changes in heart rate.

    Are you implying he was sharply changing the intensity of his physical effort while going up such a
    long climb? Why would a non-uniform climb *require* non-uniform power delivery, assuming you mean
    that "exercise intensity" is associated with power output?

    I don't know about you, but on long climbs, I go slowest on the steepest parts and faster on the
    less steep parts. That is some pretty weird [censored]... yawn.

    In the first stage, his HR was as low as 60! That's me, sitting in my La-Z-Boy, watching the tour
    on OLN....

    A post last week asserted (with attribution) that the riders in the peloton were doing less than 100
    W average. That's almost six-ounce curl territory.

    *Some* riders in *some* stages may be only producing that much power on average (and keep in mind
    that the average is brought down by every second of coasting or soft-pedaling).

    It's there now, if you're still interested. I'm not quite sure how informative it is.

    Erm well, informative, in any case nice to have a look at for a minute.

    That's the issue in a nutshell, I think. The graphs are kinda pretty to look at but what do you do
    with them? I tend to think that the software that comes with HRMs and power meters is optimized for
    drawing nice graphs, but not so much for useful information.
