Tri-Fidelity

We throw down some mad Tri Science as the director of Trivantage holds a conference call and tell us what our testing results mean.

That's right, Alex from Trivantage pulls in myself, Trigreyhound, and Prof. Erich to tell us where we rock, where we suck, and how to improve. It's a must listen for all of you interested in the real science behind endurance fitness. Not only that, but I detail some of the science that went into the making the phone call happen and I play music from our good friend MC Plus +, a bona-fide Computer Science Gangsta Rapper from Purdue University.

Below is the show notes and links to my testing results so you can follow along.


  • I intro the show after finishing a 40 minute trail run with the fam.

  • I average out Saturday's workouts to equal 56% of an Ironman (SCIENCE!)

  • We all drop in on the conference call and Alex tells us how to train better based on the results.

  • Show outtro is End Of File by MC Plus +.

Hey Texaforn:

Thanks for the comments, dudes!

Yeah, it's got a flip flop hub so some days I ride it fixed and some days I ride it single speed. Fixed seems to be much more fun and give you more control in stop and go urban environments. A majority of my ride is more rural, so it's more effective for me to ride it single speed. Switching it back and forth is like having two completely different bikes in one.
