Not me.

I was out in the real world today, recovering from illness over the weekend.

As a warm-up, I decided to see how I felt last night by riding CG1 on the turbo by myself. I decided I wouldn't push it, just take it easy and ride in 'plod-mode'.

In fact, I achieved plod-mode very early in the warm-up, and as I started the stage I moved effortlessly though plod-plus, to super-plod and ended up in hyper-plod as all my specially selected slower ghosts effortlessly left me miles behind. The slowest bastard ghost decided to blow me away on the last mini-climb towards the finish. The little sh*t!

I headed back in to the house to HID saying 'Oh. You look tired!' as I thought back to all the good form I'd had in Mallorca and thought "F**k".

Form is a fickle mistress

20 Wedding Anniversary meal stopped play.
Before you all I say it I know I don't look old enough to have been married 20 years.

Form is a fickle mistress

Tell me about it, my peak power has deserted me. I cant find the determination to hang in for these short intervals. Ive got a few things on, so haven't set proper time to concentrate on building it back up. Maybe later in the year.

You're in for a treat

That's what I told the wife this evening, she was a bit disappointed when she realised I was talking about the Giro

 

[bobinski]

What a race! Hugely impressive finish. Wellins said he was doing 600w when he was passed and had no hope of catching.

Anyone CG tonight?

I'm doing the 30.8km #GiroBkool2018 featured live race at 6 PM. Hopefully I've finished the 3,83% avg. session at 7 PM, and then I'll join the CG for a nice flat cool down.
