Carl's invite to join him for 10 laps around Crit City. I wasn't sure I'd be ready having just had tea.

Enjoyed it, been a while since I've done dolphin, new PBs according to Zwift. Carl's form is returning

Any ideas why my HRM has stopped working

 

[CXRAndy]

I bought a Garmin strap which is complete fabric under the HRM. I use a Wahoo Tickr with it. It has been excellent with corrosion proof contacts. The Tickr has lasted far longer than any other I've had

Sweat looks like it's got into the HRM and the battery corroded

Was a good workout. My aim was to last as long as I could, I was hoping for 10 mins, so was surprised I made it to the end with the lead group. Unfortunately didn't have anything left in the tank to contest the sprint but a few more weeks and I'll be giving those sprinters a run for their money again

Great to have you in the race Andy. Always nice to see a friendly wheel

I don't think you got promoted, unless there is a delay. You were well into C numbers

Does anyone know what c and d numbers are now , In the zwift hill time club the top 8 all have 20 mins over 3.4w/kg and are all still C ,the lightweight women who won has a 20min power of 4.1w/kg which is handy in a hill climb but I presume hasn't been promoted because of raw power

Yes, strange. Not sure how I can stay with the lead C group for 30 mins and not get promoted. Averaged 2.8 w/kg for the race by the looks of it

I'm in Oxford anyway tomorrow, won't get back in time, so that's one reason why I was ok trying to get promoted. Need to find a team now for the next season

Give me your sign in details and I'll pretend I'm you and you will have your old team back.
