Alaphilippe celebration

And if we go to back older days Eric Zabel is also very well known for that too early celebration. Filippo Pozzato celebrate his victory 2013 , thinking that he win the race. Didn't know that somebody cross the finish line earlier.

Did a gentle hour with Coco Cadence to give my calf a bit of R&R, but I put in an effort for the sprint which earnt me a best 30s power (779W), and a further dig at the end which makes me think I’m destined never to get the 1200W badge (1154 for 5s, though). 🤪

To keep you on your toes Tim.

Must try and stick with the B's for longer. I've had a few days off due to chesty-ness

I cobbled together 1124W at the end of my race today.

I needn't had gone for a sprint, I'd already crushed my nearest B cat rider to finish solo- it was fun though.

Fresh legged, I think 1250W is doable for me.

You do know when you stop weight training it all turns to fat
See you in C ZRL next September

I'm only putting on weight so I can join you guys in C as I want one of those tankards

That might be tough call, now we've been promoted into a higher C cat.

But the not so secret weapon of Super Carl, should slay all others

Absolutely no pressure

If your new to zwift have a look in events for group ride with the pack . They ride at the advertised pace either 1.5wkgs or 2wkgs being in the group gives you a reason to push on to hold the group

Stage 3 of the Women's Tour of Britain today, I drove across the Severn Bridge and parked in Lydney, then rode to see the race at both the QOM locations, Worralls Hill & Speech House.
Lots of cyclists out enjoying the sunny weather and climbs in the Forest of Dean.

Thanks, I have been on Zwift sine the Beta Days, but decided to give Biking a break and gain massive amounts of weight, which I have successfully achieved.
So it's a case of building up the fitness slowly as I am Type 1 and feeble.

Zwift have also pace partners, it could be worth to try. Diesel pace is 1,5w/kg and Dorothy is 1,15w/kg. Those are available in Watopia.

There's some new ones this week as well. I was on Tempus Fugit cooling down after my race today and there was one beginning with E.
Also there's some new pace partner events going up the Alpe.
