Zwift Chat

[Whorty]

I did race C ZTR XTR. Went out too fast and blew up after just under a lap. Must try harder

I learnt from last week and went out sensible and reeled in a lot of riders who went off too fast. I saw some sitting at teh side of the road as I guess they blew up so much they couldn't even finish. Pacing is the key when the ride is going to take an hour

Tired legs though today. I think I'll be staying in D until I get kicked out C is a bit too strong for me and I really enjoyed having a proper battle yesterday with equally powered riders. I really shouldn't have ridden the 9 mile 'warm up' prior to the race though LOL

Whorty, You did great. You have to exclude the top 20 odd who have been told to upgrade. 200W average is not to be sniffed at

Hi @CXRAndy - where are you getting the Strava race analysis info from with the average watts for climbing and descents? Cheers

If you log into your strava, on the left is 'Analysis' tab, this then breaks the whole ride into blocks. if you click on a particular block it gives you the averages and peaks for that particular section. here is a screen shot of your ride up the first hill 302W average

Aha! Thanks for that Andy

302 watts for the first ascent and only 283 for the second I see - clearly need to work on my stamina

So who's "SH Cyclechat" on Zwift?

Base TR ride to get back into swing of things. If it rains tomorrow PM I'll do a Zwift race instead of outdoor TT

Thanks!

Ha! Well I'm quite happy to accept the follow request and follow back but it kind of seemed pointless if I didn't know who it was!

And for the time being at least, still a little slower than me up box hill

Next time I'm fresh and do the London Loop, I'll through the kitchen sink at Box hill to see if I can get near your time Bob. I think I'll need over 350 watts to match your speed. What time do I/we need to match you?

I am pretty sure i can get under 9min because it was a solo effort and i have dropped a few kilo's since i did that if i can generate the same power. Perhaps we should all race up box hill together?
