How do you know if you have an efficient pedal stroke or not? Certainly this was a question that I tried to ignore when I first started cycling. I knew that my pedal stroke wasn’t the best of the people that I rode and trained with but I had no insight into why it wasn’t as good as the pedal stroke that they were able to produce.

Great news came in today that Australian elite triathlete, Lisa Marangon, crushed the opposition in Ironman Yeppoon 70.3, finishing nearly 4 minutes ahead of the opposition. Lisa has been training on a Wattbike throughout 2012 and it's no doubt helped both her cycle and run legs.
