Did my 2nd best 1 min power up the first climb . So nearly gave up as you gapped me over the 2nd but dug in desperate to hold the gap reeled you all in as you were preparing to sprint the plan was to just go as I caught you but I was dead

Should have looked at the zwiftpower rankings of the sign ups in b! 2 people in the 150s and Reed too strong with a long range attack. I briefly thought we were going to have a nice chill first lap but then the orange numbers started on the little climb and there was separation. Sprint was long and very (very!) close but got second

I hope you don't mind Alex , I snipped the sprint portion of these video onto my Strava?

Pretty much nailed it today
Fire socks give you wings

That's totally fine mate!

I went too early. I know I can beat Martijn in a sprint, so it was a stupid error on my part. I should have sat in patiently and waited for him to go.
I didn't have enough juice left to keep going after those two climbs.

With it being small event, I trusted that my extra mass would bring me back on the descent if the gap wasn't too big. It was slightly worrying when you and Steve got around 6 secs in front. Less worried lap 2 where he was solo and only got a couple of seconds in front.

Surprised today how effective snow shoveling is. Last night was snowing about 15cm/5,9inch of snow and it was take about 1hr to shovel it. Total calories was 734, can't burn that much calories easily with my bike at a same time. Before I have measured heart rate from my wrist but today I had a strap, that is more accurate.

Zwiftpower has collated the numbers

Don't let a fatty get near the finish line 😜

So I'm against a lighter weight climber and a heavier weight sprinter 🥺

We've got another flat one next week. Electric loop to complete the January league.
Then I'm thinking about maybe starting Feb with City and the Sgurr - 1 lap.

The neutral start is already in the description for next week and everyone seemed to think it worked well. It probably wasn't necessary today since the Bs were at the back, but I thought we better set them a good example

Also experimenting with the Sauce control #tags to prevent other people's w'bal and FTP being visible (not because it bothers me - just to test it - because we can )

I liked your current sauce layout,

How come your map icon is yellow, settings?
