Looks like around 800 for me.




Never had a problem with race timing. I can get off the trainer at 11pm and still sleep just fine. If you keep telling yourself you're bad at something, you're going to be bad at it. Head plays a big role and getting out of your comfort zone hardens the spirit too. Whatever time people want to race - I'm happy to jump in. Always.

By the way, anyone doing the DIRT stage today?

I wish I could do that Pete, but with age recovery is taking longer. A race in the morning allows me to come down in HR, stress and begin recovery in the afternoon.

A elevated HR going into sleep ruins my night.

You're young relatively. remember this conversation in 20 yrs time, report back

If Im alive

I will sometimes do an evening ride outside, but that's not the same as getting close to maximum HR giving it all in a highly adrenalised race.

Got to be racing at the same time as a few familiar faces if not the same race/class! @bridgy @Whorty @Del C @Ketty

Finally found a really hard C race. Box hill is a killer. Actually the second fastest I've ever been up it, must do some hilly races in C before I hopefully get upgraded

Looks like I got lucky in the DIRT race. Messed up the finish - just 8th across the line. OK results on primes though for an overall gold. Could have done much better, but I wasn't sure where the 3rd sprint or the finish line was

I got spanked in a B race .... Seaside Crit .... I managed to hang on to the lead group of 12 for 13 minutes before I popped. I sat up, waited for the guy who was last and I sat on his wheel until the end (I didn't bother contesting the sprint).

My target was to hang on for 10 minutes so I was pleased with 13 minutes given I haven't raced for a couple of months

I'll be back in C again soon, just need to get my fitness up, sort my sprint out, and try to lose a bit of weight. I need to compensate for fixing the Atom and losing the help it was giving me

 

[Whorty]

I forgot mt HR strap too and looks like I was DQ'd ... I thought you only needed HR if you podiumed?

DQ'd and came last .... a smidge sad

Did you use the sterzo?

 

[Whorty]

Did you use the sterzo?

No - binned that ages ago after it dissintegrated in sweat. I'm on the Atom trainer now, so no steering

Couldn't see that anyone else was steering either

I took 30s off my PR on Box in my ladder race earlier. Still need another 30s to get near you though, although I did laugh when I saw Peter's name under mine. #troll #troll

It also looks as if your trainer isn’t reporting cadence correctly 😬. Another call-out for the Wattbike Man?

Looks like the cadence 'resolution' is off and shows either 30, 60, 80 or 120. Very strange.

No, it does that if I don't turn it off between rides ... I noticed afterwards ... I'll power off before riding tonight and it should be fine.

Yeah, it goes like that if I leave it plugged in for a long time ... I forgot to reboot it last night

 

[Peter Salt]

Ah! Nearly got it yesterday:

Also, finally some good news from FedEx - looks like the bike frame is finally getting released by customs, fingers crossed it's in one piece.

This guy has just competed in the Zwift Hill Climb Racing Club event on the Epic KOM (and won). The last day when he didn't race on Zwift was 25 March! That's a serious habit!
