NEW FTP OF 247!!!!!!!

Well all the hard work is paying off...I have never work so hard in my life in 90 degree freaking weather.  Dry heaving and sweat dripping in the eyes so damn bad it burned but it is done.....

When I started this journey on 11/1/10 my FTP was 171 and after todays test it is 247!!!!!

Note Saturday and Sunday were both big days for me.
Saturday was a one hour swim, 70 mile bike, and 2.5 mile swim
Sunday was a 3000 yard swim, 42 mile bike at .80 IF, and a 5 mile run

Since Nov 1, 2010 to today my bike odometer (Joule 2.0) reads 2,974 miles!!!
My FTP has improved .69% (that is just an all around sweet number)

Numbers from bike test...Note the bike test consists of 2 x 20 minutes all out on the bike with a 2 minute break in between.....
