But better than Tenterden...

It's cold!

And wet. And I can't dial the reality of the hills down by 50%.

 

[Whorty]

They know we can score points on that one, so they put it in just for us
Today's challenge is to do that, recover and then do another punchy climb which is 30s longer

Hivey messaged me privately, asked me not to push him too hard tonight on Titan I don't think he fancies the KoM afterwards

 

[Whorty]

Could be worse. Could be Up-down-up of Bologna and then 3/4 of Ventoux the next day, followed by 6 more daily gruelling races

Or ... the DBR league on the Monday, and the odd domestique ride if required (although anything will a hill is pointless having me as I'd be a useful as a chocolate teapot!)

I don't think ANY of us do, but it will be very interesting to see if we've got anything left for a second go.

Something I learned recently ... those percents don't reflect the 'chance' of rain, it means the % of that area/post code that is forecast to get rain.

So in the link, 10% of Olbia is forecast to get rain at 9 am.

Every day is a schoolday!

I'm not looking forward to the KoM ....

When it's at the end of the race, you know you just need to hold position and crawl up ... but mid race, and after the Titan effort, that 2 minutes is going to really hurt tonight. Can see there being riders all over the road and FAL sprint going to the little whippets (we're talking you here Alex

I was looking at Alex's compilation of Watt/kg to get into top 10 for Titan.

Id need over 550W average to get I think 5th

I'd scrap the 'almost' part on ZP. You infringe once and you are promoted.

Anyway, Zwift racing League tonight. Do you all have tea before or after? And if before, what time?

Can sometimes do without but for 33 miles definitely having something now and during

You'll need to take it before mid point to be able to fully absorbed into blood stream.

Good luck all!
