In association with Quarq.

For many of us triathletes, we’ll turn up to a race with a target pace or power in mind. And that’s all very well for a perfectly flat course with zero wind, but, unless you’re cycling around a velodrome then it’s unlikely these will be the conditions for your race.

One of the big factors we need to consider with our pacing is the wind. Should you ride harder into a headwind? Should you ease off? Should you get more aero? Should you increase your cadence?

Well, we’re in the perfect location to discuss this! We’re in Kona for the Ironman World Championships with its infamously windy course. We’re going to be analysing our power, thanks to our partners Quarq and we’re going to be talking you through how to get the most out of those pesky headwinds.
