@alex_cycles, your event doesn't appear to be showing on companion app?

No it's sadly not a public event so won't be in the calendar. Searchable on ZP though.
Or here https://www.zwiftracing.app/zr-events/658044c321e2f00018fdfab0

The problem with having custom categories on a public event is you'll get people signing up to ABCD pens thinking it's a CE race and then they'll be in the wrong place.

Yes. I'll DM you a direct link

Got up at 5:30 this morning for a quick 30 minute workout before breakfast but just couldn’t get the Neo 2T to pair with Zwift on my laptop. Just managed to get it to talk to my phone, though, so at least it’s not the Bluetooth in my trainer that’s fried. Hopefully I can get it back up and running tonight…

Bloody thing’s working fine, now! 😠

Your trainer obviously isn't a morning type of trainer 😂 who wants to be up at 5.30
I was going to suggest that it might be an upgrade thing as 1 is due

 

[Legs]

Yeah, I’d thought it might have been because I’d overridden the update, but then I tried it on IndieVelo and couldn’t get it to pair there either. Anyway, I think all’s well now. 5:30am is the second-best time of day for a workout (the best being 5am! 🤣)

He clearly needs a new bike

Crit event, around the Volcano loop. Felt good initially, struggled a bit with the pace. A group broke away , then other jumped across to form a bigger pack. I managed to get across.

Didn't have much left for a sprint 10th finish placement

Nice race. But a bit too easy?

That's easy for you to say 😂

For you, yes - as the only A in the village Sit in and sprint.
For me, that was a maximum effort up the climb to get a 3s lead on the rest of my pen. But then I was forked and the guys from the B pen I was with weren't working so we got caught. I think we were all dead after smashing the climb though.
My stream failed, but a couple of other guys streamed it...

At least I made the video 😂. Went off stupidly hard hoping to hang on but failed after 0.8km which is further than last week's 0.6km . Managed to average 3.2w/kg for the 12 and half mins for me which nearly matches my best 5 min and 10 min power so a good effort if a bit lonely again .

Shame about the stream, you put up a good fight.

I'm still just a B, like the others, just higher vELO. Should be able to make next week, if there is one.

Good effort, Phil. Too many breakfasts

I was 6W under my best ever 10-minute power, which, amusingly enough, was also produced on a 1-lap race of Two Bridges Loop.
I said hello to you in my video stream, but the stream cut off after 10s without me knowing, sadly.

Never mind. I've set out a new page with the program on for anyone who's interested going forward...

Innsbruckring next week. Queen's Highway the week after. I'm keeping it all pens together for now, but if we start getting more people in I might separate it out. The "B"s I was hanging with let me down playing cat and mouse with each other at the end. If they'd pushed hard I might have had a chance of holding off David and Martijn

I think you’d be an A if you did some 20-minute TT efforts. 👍
