Agreed. If you really do put in a maximum effort on the TT you need some recovery time before doing a long race

Are you calling me fat?I wasn't much quicker. 5:40 at around 295W. I see we're the same weight now
Bad time of year for weighing, really 
In theory, but in reality my iTT start time was 1042, I finished at 10:54 and the next race started at 1100.
No way, José

Not helped by the fact I've done 50km outside this morning !! . May be beaten before I start . Was planning on doing the TT at 1900 . Wondering wether my legs can do 1730 TT then 2000 race ??Agreed.

You know these FRR races aren't compulsory, right?
As usual with these series, I'm cherry-picking the ones that work for me. That would be quite a lot of volume for one day.
Not compulsory!!
So the plan is give the TT a go and see how the legs feel . But I do think a 50km race will be asking a bit much
Just annoyed with myself I hadn't checked the dates as I wouldn't have done 50km outdoor this morning and done the TT early then the race this evening

1:33:17 for FRR Stage 2 - completely knackered.
iTT scheduled for 19:35 - on fresh legs I'd be hopeful for around 6:15-6:25, but I'm not sure how much I'll be able to recover in a little over 3 hours.

Hmm... If you're thinking GC then it would probably make sense to do the 17:30 ITT in Z2 - that will cost you a minute or two. And then the 18:00 race that has around 300 people signed up - pretty much a guarantee of finding an appropriately paced group and possibly making up that whole loss.
Cheers @Peter Salt
GC to me is just about finishing all the stages not position , Your suggestion makes perfect sense . It's just wether I can face the 50km race mentally so if I z2 the TT and don't do the race I blow both so I'm torn

Well... It will be at least 80 minutes. I'd say best to start at 6pm then 8pm for that reason too. Also, two extra hours to recover before the next one tomorrow.

The race itself is nothing tremendously difficult, it just drags on and on. The most dispiriting part is when you think you are approaching the final Volcano climb and it redirects you to do another lap of the Volcano circuit instead. I had looked at the map only briefly before the race and wasn't expecting that - especially as the group I was in was overtaken by a group of A's at that point who DID go straight on and up the climb (guess they were actually 6-7 minutes ahead of us) while we turned left.

Just had a tech meltdown .First zwift wouldn't load on Apple TV ,had to reinstall it . Then zwift couldn't find my trainer ,had to reset my Bluetooth on tablet to get the app to work ,Then my broadband dropped out missed the 17.30 start my slot was 17.42 when broadband came back I couldn't join I presume because it was after 1730 .
I think stuffs telling me not to do it . Having a break for food now

95% of the time it's absolutely fine ,cheap and easy way to set up zwift . It's seems to throw wobbles when zwift does any updates and I have to reinstall the app . Didn't really leave enough time tonightHere's me thinking I might get an ATV for the second bike setup
