🤬🤬🤬🤬 you Apple TV remote!!!! 3rd time in 2 weeks I’ve been sabotaged by your presence near my fingers.

There that’s that out of the system. 300m from the finish, nicely poised in a crit city sprint, and somehow I press the TV button!!!🤬🤬🤬

Thanks Andy.

My power numbers are quite different indoors and outdoors especially at the shorter intervals. At FTP, there is probably a 10W difference.

Thanks for the offer - if I don't get a chance to go for the hour outside, I may take you up on that offer

Martin,
Really interesting read. Looking at those numbers suggests you may have the best short sprint of anyone here and a pretty darned good diesel engine if the races were longer too. I am sure many of us here will drop in to help you suffer on The Hour

Mate... what were you doing going near the remote at that point in a race?

 

[<Tommy>]

What!! I've been working hard all year to catch up to your reaction score, and now you say it doesn't mean anything??

Edit: this post may give me a few more points.

Have one on me Randy 👍

(I don’t need one in return 👍 being popular is overrated, or so I’ve heard 😄)

I had just deployed a power up when the good ole remote was about to topple to the floor so I gently tried to set him to the side. I think I need to sellotape it to the bars next time so it’s a fixed object as it’s too dinky for my clumsy hands 😢 Anyways I’m over it now.

PS did I tell you all that I got 3rd in a race last night on a Libby Hill after party race. Was well chuffed. 🤗 No power ups involved just brute force for 1m30s.

Pressing play to deploy a power up?

I've done something similar and pressed the siri button which pauses Zwift! I've also fumbled it and the glass bit has shattered on the garage floor

Al - maybe deploy the power up from companion app instead?

Not maybe, definitely use the companion app! No idea why anyone would choose the worst controller the world has ever seen, instead of the relatively idiot proof by comparison companion app!

@sausagefingersCampbell. Step away from the remote control!

Glad to see your new training schedule is working 😅👍

Zwiftinsider write up for the next stage of the WTRL league.

Lots of sprint points on offer before the main climb

@mjd1988 if you have an ipad or iPhone available you could put zwift on there and pair with Bluetooth. Small screen of a phone would make racing tricky but an ipad would probs be okay

I use IPad Pro 12.9inch and it’s perfect 👌🏻

I use a 32" Samsung, but find it difficult balancing it on the handlebars

LOL, I wish. Rach is really poorly and I can only ride when I have carers in to take over looking after Rach which tends to be in the day time so sticking with BRVR as there is no time specifics to riding whereas Zwift it's about timing races. Fitness thankfully holding well, as is the extra fat which is a bit frustrating

Sending good thoughts to Rach and You

There is a team on Zwift Power and we have 2 teams in the current Zwift league and we also join other leagues through the year. Currently the 2 teams are all racing in B cat, although the 'second' team is a mix of B and C racers. What cat would you race in normally? We don't have any D's currently as those who joined in recent months quickly progressed to C with lots of Zwift racing

uummmmmmm I think I’ve only entered cat c races, but my ftp would stick me in b (not brave enough to have my arse handed to me) as the last test gave me 3.6w/kg
