Feels Like Elevation™

Imagine if the wind wasn’t an invisible enemy, sapping your power and bringing your speed to a crawl. myWindsock ‘Feels Like’ Elevation turns each headwind into a satisfying hill to conquer.

Put simply, the ‘Feels Like’ Elevation is the equivalent elevation gain for the energy you expended battling the wind. If the effort you put into the headwind was a hill, this is how high you would have climbed.

It’s not all up hill

Tailwinds? Well they send you down hill, well relatively. On a hill, the tailwind may reduce the overall feel of the gradient. Or make a downhill, a little more downhill.

The ‘Feels Like’ Chart

This is an exciting chart to look at as it shows the accumulative up and down affect of your ‘Feels Like’ elevation.

Whilst the elevation profile indicates down hill out and up hill back, combine the feel of the headwind, the profile looks a lot different.
