I'm finding that one big benefit of Computrainer is race preparation and course visualization. Prior to an event, most coaches will stress race visualization as one step in getting ready for a race. With Computrainer and the 3D software, the bike portion of a triathlon is easily visualized. During my taper before a race, I ride the bike course three or four times to learn where the turns and hills are. Which turns lead into hills, which hills have are short and steep or long and gradual. Everything helps prepare me so that when I arrive at the race, I'm already comfortable with the bike and I know where I have to make my move or the best place to react to a move.
It also works for the run but since most triathlon runs are short and flat, the benefit isn't as great.
