Conference : Welcome to the National Challenge Competition : Main conference for the NCC http://www.race-tracker.net/usat/forum Hi Roman, I'm the administrator of the NCC site. How do I get in touch with you about this app? I checked your blog, did not see direct contact info. You can reach me directly by using the contact form on the NCC site if you like. http://www.race-tracker.net/usat/forummessages.cfm?threadid=43B1F3EA-B36C-56A4-8E8FE577664CD3F7&r=1 2013-01-20T12:13:42-04:00 Free app - USAT National Challenge Competition site and Trainingpeaks synchronization I created a free application to automatically copy all workouts for athletes from their Trainingpeaks.com account into the USAT National Challenge Competition (NCC) site - without having to enter data twice in both places. Feel free to use it for free - I am triathlete myself and participate in NCC: https://tri-replicator.appspot.com/ Once you set up the account, you only need to add your workout data to Trainingpeaks, the copy process will happen automatically without you having to do anything. So you can avoid daily entry of data into USAT NCC site, which I find difficult to use and always got confused what I did and did not enter. Its free and open - use it if you like. http://www.race-tracker.net/usat/forummessages.cfm?threadid=43B1F3EA-B36C-56A4-8E8FE577664CD3F7&r=2 2013-01-16T09:10:01-04:00 Free app - USAT National Challenge Competition site and Trainingpeaks synchronization I created a free application to automatically copy all workouts for athletes from their Trainingpeaks.com account into the USAT National Challenge Competition (NCC) site - without having to enter data twice in both places.

Is there an API for adding results? I would like to write a program that will take workouts from Training Peaks and add them to the National Challenge Competition site. trainingpeaks.com has an API that I can use to download my daily workouts, but how would I add them to this site? I will publish the source and a binary and perhaps host it on google for free for others to use. Why enter data twice in TP and NCC? Do it once!! http://www.race-tracker.net/usat/forummessages.cfm?threadid=707AA555-0291-8CEF-78CD13DA37E87052&r=4 2012-12-06T08:49:44-04:00 Is there an API for NCC site to synch it with Training Peaks? As requested, final athlete results are now posted by gender and age group.

Nice catch... February 29th has now been added to the mileage entry forms for both athletes and club reps. http://www.race-tracker.net/usat/forummessages.cfm?threadid=B11D5E1B-F0E1-50C0-D6B7A7D1F4F78B58&r=7 2012-02-24T22:42:22-04:00 February 29th? We have a February 29th this year however it is not offered on the section to log your results. will that be added or does the contest end on the 28th? Thanks. http://www.race-tracker.net/usat/forummessages.cfm?threadid=B11D5E1B-F0E1-50C0-D6B7A7D1F4F78B58&r=8 2012-02-24T15:46:26-04:00 February 29th? Yes, that is one of the ways we'll be publishing the final results. http://www.race-tracker.net/usat/forummessages.cfm?threadid=B0416BD5-CD71-3583-FCC517C1B894B809&r=9 2012-02-24T12:53:38-04:00 Final Results After the NCC competition is over, can you have overall results broken down by sex and age group? http://www.race-tracker.net/usat/forummessages.cfm?threadid=B0416BD5-CD71-3583-FCC517C1B894B809&r=10 2012-02-24T11:46:11-04:00 Final Results Further to my last post - the 15 miles per hour limit is for those without a computer attached to their bike. That means most on trainers, since the computer typically measures the rotation of the front wheel (which doesn't move when you're on a trainer). Some do have computers set up on their indoor trainer, and those folks do get to use the computer readings. Our lead cyclist this year is in that category. We asked him to provide mileage verification, which he has done. If you haven't already, you can read [url=http://www.race-tracker.net/blog/post.cfm?entry=one-athlete-s-inspiring-story]last year's blog post[/url] about him to get some insight into how he can put in those epic miles. http://www.race-tracker.net/usat/forummessages.cfm?threadid=E444B8F7-CFAE-03FF-91FEF73B1FDC8DE6&r=11 2012-01-21T18:31:10-04:00 Bike Miles/Trainer @tlcesq - yes, the rules do state that no more than 15 miles will be allowed for each hour spent on an indoor trainer. More to follow on this topic, but if you are riding indoors this month (which I bet most of us are) then please keep to that rule when entering your miles. Check out the Rules page for the official USAT word on this subject. http://www.race-tracker.net/usat/forummessages.cfm?threadid=E444B8F7-CFAE-03FF-91FEF73B1FDC8DE6&r=12 2012-01-17T11:53:27-04:00 Bike Miles/Trainer I noticed in reading the Blog today that the current high bike rider has logged over 800 miles. Great! I am not questioning his integrity at all, but it said he's ridden that distance using a bike trainer. Don't the rules state that one cannot log more than 15 miles/hour for any trainer used for bike riding? Just would like a clarification, please. http://www.race-tracker.net/usat/forummessages.cfm?threadid=E444B8F7-CFAE-03FF-91FEF73B1FDC8DE6&r=13 2012-01-15T21:07:16-04:00 Bike Miles/Trainer I have been adding new people on to my team and they have not been getting the confirmation emails. Was there a cut off to add members? Am I missing something?

For sure! Anytime your outside its better.

I get your point about mtn biking being more difficult than road, but we don't count them any differently. It could be worse - you could be on a trainer in your basement :) http://www.race-tracker.net/usat/forummessages.cfm?threadid=FF91C52B-F51A-1096-149C49EBD52EBC7A&r=16 2011-12-02T11:39:13-04:00 mountainbiking How do mountainbike miles count? Is it a mile is a mile or is there some scale because a mountainbike mile should count more than a road mile? http://www.race-tracker.net/usat/forummessages.cfm?threadid=FF91C52B-F51A-1096-149C49EBD52EBC7A&r=17 2011-12-02T11:18:23-04:00 mountainbiking Hi Mandi, Registration never closes :) Teams can register any time, and club reps can add athletes any time too. Also, any mileage done during the current session/month can be added up until the end of the session. So if you don't get signed up until December 15, you can still add any swim/bike/run miles you did in December. You don't need to add them on the same day you did them. - Jeff McCartney http://www.race-tracker.net/usat/forummessages.cfm?threadid=F566D108-E553-A85E-2571F8AE323005AC&r=18 2011-11-30T12:52:07-04:00 Last day for registration? What is the last day for registration in the 2011 NCC? Today is 11/30, competition begins tomorrow. Will team members still be able to register after today? If so, will their mileage count only from the day of registration? Thank you! Mandi http://www.race-tracker.net/usat/forummessages.cfm?threadid=F566D108-E553-A85E-2571F8AE323005AC&r=19 2011-11-30T11:55:15-04:00 Last day for registration? Hi Megan, As club rep you have to add them to your team first, then give them admin rights. Very easy to do once you login. They will receive an email with their own login credentials, and then login using the same link as you. They have to select 'individual athlete' rather than 'club rep' when logging in.
