Zwift Chat

It's gonna be painful tonight. Any thoughts if equipment? Even though most of the course is pretty flat I think I'll use lightweight wheels and frame as I'll be aiming to be in the draft except on the climb when I'll be in the red the whole time*

*Or more likely I'll forget to switch from mountain bike

I have a new race weight for tonight, so dropped my Zwift weight to 170lbs from 173lbs😀 every little helps

My cough is now back with a vengeance. I was hoping to cough out some crud, but may have made things worse

Steady rides until lungs have cleared

Aero wheels, its only a short duration climb. Im swapping back to road bike from Tron, dont like not seeing when out of draft position

You are probably right but psychologically I always feel like I need any advantage on a climb

Either Tron, or S-Works Venge + 454 wheels for me. I have the 808/Super 9 wheels but wonder if these will be too heavy on that climb .... every second counts

You're going great guns Chris. I'm not weighing myself until after April - by not knowing my weight, I don't have to change it and 'accidentally' promote myself to B cat

Sworks and those wobbly aero wheels

My aim is to try and stick with the lead group to the first climb and then take it from there. I know I can start off at 300 or so watts for a minute or 2 the settle into a rhythm, I'm just hoping I don't need to do too much more early on. Again, on the hill, try to hold on to the lead group; I know now how hard I can push on that climb and for how long, question is, will that be enough?

Really looking forward to tomorrow, could be a good workout and a chance to cement our 2nd place in the league

Is a HR monitor essential for tonight's race to get your result counted on Zwift Power?

Yes you need a heart rate monitor

Balls - mine is bust and I'm waiting on a replacement from Garmin. I'll see if I can get my watch to work instead. Ta!

Well it may be tough as the Cat A's soon bottled it because they hate the B's out performing them.

You can still race it and register a time but Zwiftpower will filter you out of the results. You can see your time in any case in Zwiftpower by clicking on the ‘filtered’ tab

Quite a few of the B's not up for racing against the Danes either .... maybe the success of the mighty C cat guys (did I mention we're second in the league ) is hard to match

Good luck tonight - do us proud in B

Any of you on Discord tonight? If so, I might listen in, after I’m dropped going up the leg snapper.
