The Frustrated Programmer

I like to keep the data around from my Swimmovate PoolMate and entering the details into TrainingPeaks is very cumbersome. So I wrote a quick script to generate TCX files that can be uploaded. Its very simple:

#!/bin/bash

function do_lap() {
 LAP_TIME=`expr $LAP_MINUTES \* 60`
 LAP_TIME=`expr $LAP_TIME + $LAP_SECONDS`
 echo "        <Lap StartTime=\"$LAP_START\">" >> $START_DATE.tcx
 echo "          <TotalTimeSeconds>$LAP_TIME</TotalTimeSeconds>" >> $START_DATE.tcx
 echo "          <DistanceMeters>$LAP_DISTANCE</DistanceMeters>" >> $START_DATE.tcx
 echo "          <Intensity>$1</Intensity>" >> $START_DATE.tcx
 echo "          <TriggerMethod>Manual</TriggerMethod>" >> $START_DATE.tcx
 echo "        </Lap>" >> $START_DATE.tcx
 MINUTE_OFFSET=`expr $MINUTE_OFFSET + $LAP_MINUTES`
 SECOND_OFFSET=`expr $SECOND_OFFSET + $LAP_SECONDS`
}

START_DATE=`date +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.000Z`
cat header.tcx > $START_DATE.tcx
echo "      <Id>"$START_DATE"</Id>" >> $START_DATE.tcx
echo -n "Yards or Meters (y/m): "
read YARDS
echo -n "Number of sets: "
read SETS
CURRENT_SET=0
MINUTE_OFFSET=0
SECOND_OFFSET=0
while [ $CURRENT_SET -ne $SETS ]; do
 echo -n "Set $CURRENT_SET Distance: "
 read LAP_DISTANCE
 if [ "$YARDS" = "y" ]; then 
  LAP_DISTANCE=`echo $LAP_DISTANCE \* 0.9144 | bc`
 fi
 echo -n "Set $CURRENT_SET Time (Min Sec): "
 read LAP_MINUTES LAP_SECONDS
 LAP_START=`date -v +${MINUTE_OFFSET}M -v +${SECOND_OFFSET}S +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.000Z`
 do_lap "Active"

 #Default to 60 second reset between sets
 LAP_MINUTES=0
 LAP_SECONDS=60
 LAP_DISTANCE=0
 do_lap "Resting"

 CURRENT_SET=`expr $CURRENT_SET + 1`
done
cat trailer.tcx >> $START_DATE.tcx

Here is header.tcx
