I use calipers and the 4-site skinfold method (as seen here). Electric scales were perplexingly erratic - the figures it gave hardly changed over the entire year and fluctuated over a day by 5%, so I declared them rubbish.
Fat and muscle change slowly, so daily changes will be things like general hydration, muscle fluid retention (a hard-trained muscle holds onto more liquid, as does a muscle when you're using creatine), and gut load.
>I'd add to the training: Don't get too stressed about missing a session.
For sure: if I make the goals and miss sessions, I'd overplanned :)
Yay for another long ride - build that bike base! (The reason for that figure I gave is that I may otherwise be tempted to do some audax, and with a goal of the Oly bike leg, any more than about distance-and-a-half is unnecessary)
