Every report opens with arithmetic you can check. The score breaks into the components it was built from, and the day you raced in is read off your own GPS trace, hour by hour. The findings that follow are written against both. This is the real report, on a sample race.
Scored against the targets for this distance, so it can be compared with your other races whatever you raced. Anything your file did not carry is left out rather than counted against you.
One number you can hold against your other races, which a finishing time cannot do: that moves with fitness, course and conditions. Anything your file did not carry is left out rather than counted against you.
The day warmed steadily under you, from 20.2C at the start to 27.1C at its warmest during the bike, a 6.9C climb across the race. The wind held steady at about 21 km/h (moderate) from start to finish and stayed out of the WSW. The day asked most of you through the wind: 60 of the 180 km you covered were spent pointing into a moderate wind, while the heat load stayed at warm. The hardest stretch anywhere in the race was 75 to 90 km on the bike, at 6.1 m/s on the nose. Where that actually landed is on the leg page.
Warm enough to cost a few beats per minute of heart-rate drift at the same effort, though not on its own enough to account for a large fade.
Heat, humidity and wind across the hours you were actually out there, plus, on each leg, how many kilometres you spent pointing into it. Illustrative conditions on a sample course: your report reads the real hours for your race.
“The run broke at km 5, not km 15. Out of T2 at 3:47/km, you settled to 4:08/km by km 5. Most athletes remember the second half as the collapse. Your file shows the pace ceiling was set at km 5.”
The reads people come looking for after a race, for both distances. Each one walks through what the data shows, then reads yours when you upload.
Garmin, Wahoo and Polar FIT files, for a 70.3, a full distance, or a standalone half marathon or marathon. Multisport files work as they are, bike and run extracted automatically.
