IMPORTANCE OF POWER

What does Justin love about power and Dash?
In my training, power is critical! From the day-to-day workouts to some of the biggest triathlons in the world, I rely on accurate power to help me pace and push myself. Using the power meter, heart rate monitor, Dash and SB20 bike in training are all pieces to the puzzle of my success formula.
