I just completed the Lake Placid Ironman and there is absolutely NO WAY I would have even come close to my 6:10 bike without you guys. I did a flat as a pancake half iron last summer and my bike loop was 3:25. Now this past weekend in Lake Placid, my first loop was under 3 (the second loop the wind kicked up to about 20MPH for a while which slowed me down on the second loop), on a notoriously hilly and very hard course!
I live in New York City and bought my CompuTrainer on January 1, 2007. I rode it religiously for months before the weather got ok to ride outside. I was doing 4 and 5 hour sessions every Saturday, as well as at least three 1 to 2 hour sessions in the morning before work. I literally can’t believe how well I did on the bike in the Ironman, and I owe it to the CompuTrainer! The SpinScan cycle technology taught me how to bike.
My first Ironman, and I went 11:30. Without you guys, I would have been at 13 hours, easy!
Thanks again for having such a great product. Anybody contemplating an iron distance race must have the CompuTrainer.

| "Riding my CompuTrainer allows me to gauge my progress on certain key workouts such as my set of 2 x >20 km time trials. Week to week, I can measure and compare my wattage and heart rate in a setting which is constant and not effected by wind or terrain. I can visibly measure my recovery from racing and training and my progress toward the next race. I call it my "quality control workout". Before an Ironman race one of my key race prep workouts is a 5 hr CompuTrainer ride with 3 hours at 200 watts" |

| "I've had a CompuTrainer for 6 years now and with the information and hours that I have logged using it, it has made my cycling stronger and faster. With all the Ironman Courses that you can download, you can train on the course without even being in the same country! This is the ultimate training tool" |

I wanted to thank you again for your support & help with CompuTrainer. It is an amazing training tool that has enabled me to constantly improve my cycling technique, efficiency & ulitmately...speed. I had a good solid ride in Wisconsin keeping my pedal stroke smooth with a controlled HR while pulling away from the rest of the field. Although my bike time was slightly slower than last year, I was by myself and chose to ease up slightly the last 20-30 miles to have a stronger run. It is good to have a bike course that suits my strength (rolling hills). 9/19/04 |

| "I would say that I can't remember life before CompuTrainer. It has become a very crucial part of my training. If I don't do my key workouts on CT during the build-up to my races, I always regret it during those races. It is tough to beat the CT for a consistant strength-building ride where you can fully concentrate on your entire pedal stroke and get all the power you can out of it. See you in Kona!" 10/1/04 |

| "CompuTrainer makes the best bike training tool that you can buy. I'm on it at least 2-3 times a week. It is invaluable for triathletes with limited training time (I guess that's all of us!). I can get in a great workout in 45 minutes to an hour. The quality workouts on the CompuTrainer and the feedback that I get from it are crucial to my success. You can easily track your progress and how much you have improved." |

| "A dozen members of our 400 member club have acquired CompuTrainers during the past few years. Since then, the average speed in the pack on our 24 mile Saturday ride has increased over 4 mph from 21 to 25+. These guys all know it's their CompuTrainers that have put them in the final break." |

| "I'm a big believer in controlled bike sessions and the CompuTrainer is undoubtedly the best indoor training system available. The fact that an athlete can download courses and then monitor their optimal efficiency over such a course is incredible. The system is unique." |
