I’ll set one up mate

You might actually be faster second time round. It might sound backward but Both years we did that bkool cup thing I was stronger in the second race than the first. And I remember another time riding up alpe d’huez and then winning a bkool race straight afterwards. If you just try and ride around your ftp the first attempt, then re fuel and spin a bit in between. You can completely un load on the second attempt.

Interesting theory - if it works everyone will be doing the same!

When you see the way pro’s warm up it kind of relates. Most of us being time restricted probably don’t prepare for races as well as we could.

20-40 seconds slower at worst.

Id say the thought of going again twice in an hour will slow down you down mentally and physically on both efforts...so I’d say on the first effort you’ll be 20 seconds slower than you COULD do it, and 40 seconds slower on the second go (let the mind games begin )

Ignore the first meet up.... I didn’t set the time correctly.

if I missed anyone who wants to do it at 7pm let me know.

I had a go solo earlier, back to square one fitness wise, struggling to breath with gunk.

I'll potter on

Attempt 1 - 16:29

I don't have much confidence in your theory right now Tommy...

That’s not the attitude now is it!

How much of a lead in was there?

No idea - we're using a random segment rather than the Zwift insider verified one because the meetup doesn't quite pick it up - so I don't know where it starts or finishes. I just went full gas from start to finish!!

 

[bridgy]

I might try pacing this next one differently (excuses readied!)

 

[<Tommy>]

Is there a start banner?

Speaking of excuses my legs are like two swinging bricks. I’m definitely having another go over the weekend

Yes but as I say I don't know exactly where the segment starts or finishes. It is this one - might be hidden for you
