CompuTrainer Interactive Videos
So you've qualified for Kona. Wouldn't it be nice to check out the racecourse say, once a week for the six months leading up to the race? No, we're not talking about moving to Kona - although that would be a nice treat - now you can do just that without leaving your own home. Ditto for checking out the Ford Ironman Arizona or Ford Ironman Coeur d'Alene course, too.
Thanks to CompuTrainer's new Interactive Bike Course Videos you can get an unbelievably realistic riding experience. Add to that the ability to monitor your heart rate, watts and pedaling efficiency and you will have no excuses once it comes to race day.
