Story for Focusing on watching the watts
New power meter and reconfigured the Garmin to show various power data fields on a "power screen". While riding, watching the 3sec and 10sec average power, its tough to continually push effort on the pedals.
Changed the way I ride...as I was used to coasting after cresting hills, ceasing pedaling when descending, etc.
Trying to keep my average power for the ride somewhat above 200 watts, I pushed almost this whole ride...even on the descents, which is hard to keep it above 200 watts.
Lots to learn about using the power meter while riding, this was only my first week with this device.
