Hi @puggles I am super pumped for your first outdoor workout with a PM! Here are the answers:
- Ride to the park can count as a warm-up
- Set an interval page on your Garmin showing: power, cadence, and a lap timer
- Left is fine, but the difference should not be significant unless you have significant imbalances. Interesting that I am the opposite- right-handed but left leg dominant!
Let us know how it goes! And remember, it does not need to be perfect. Don’t worry about seeing the power jump when trying to keep steady, it’s a learning curve! It will get better with time. But really even more important… have fun!!
