Zwift Chat

Don't rule me out I just need to beat Martin's time by 1.45ish ( yeah like that's goner happen)
In my head it's doable the legs may disagree with over 230km in them in 4 days

The table has updated - I think you only have to beat my time by 37 seconds.

Its awful to get dropped mid race, wait for the next pack to lift your speed. I was fearful of that, but fortunately got over Titans with the leaders. Our pace was er, pedestrian though. I made a mental note of the time i had be at the start of the Volcano KOM. When we got there, I began to doubt myself Id remembered the correct time. Actually I was so late compared to Martin.

Don't think I could have gone much quicker I did PR all 3 climbs and emptied the tank

Then you've had a cracking event



PS I noticed OR lack of your name in cyclechat team list on Zwiftpower. Have you populated your team in the settings?

The League table doesn't update very often, only once every day or two. Just so happens it often does so soon after the 1110 event finishes. I expect he'll be there as finished all 4 tomorrow...

Close finish 2 minutes between 4 of us after 2 hours of racing

Yes I suggest we get together and form a team
Oh. Hold on...

Looks like we all lost the lead group in the rollers before the Titan's KOM. Luckily, the group I latched onto was very going fast and we just about caught the lead group back up by the start of the Volcano KOM.

That was a fun series - and it seemed to push each of us to our limits which is a good thing

Alan and I did it yesterday as well but neither of us had a HRM

My new HRM arrived today
And it works!

That was a tough race yesterday after a few days off the bike. I was happy to be in the front group over the forward KOM but annoyingly I cracked around 400m from the top of Titans and lost 30s on the leaders. My legs were empty for the volcano. I had good power numbers over the forward KOM and 20 minute average. Just didn’t have the staying power.
