Zwift Chat

[Stephenite]

I did get a quick half-hour in. Half an hour on Zwift that is. It takes another half-hour to set up, put away, and shower. Cheers fellas.

Watopia felt hard work today, results say I did well, with some new PRs.

Bike now prepared for TdY, weather forecast looks ok for the morning at present, my start time ~6.30am

Andy, If I had known I would have joined you. Should stand you in good stead for TdY. Enjoy

Had a little pootle up Watopia and kicking myself for not pushing harder. Started really easy but 2 guys shot past at 4.5-5w so latched on but I couldn't get gearing and cadence right. Slowed and listened to the Zwift cast! and only when I got near the top did I put a real effort in and then only to keep from being overtaken. Looking at my time I should have just gone for it and seen if I blew up or bonked. I think I need to join a mountain race and see if I can improve my time. Or not

There were lots of guys today riding 4-5 w/kg up the mountain. I wasn't doing too bad myself, but looked like I was standing still when they came past. I lost 8 mins to the fastest climber today.

You got a good pb for the steep section of the mountain and beat my time going on zwift tomorrow after my commute so will be taking it easy coming home, looking for a couple of pb's at least.

Yes, though many seem to fall off before they hit the sprint for the pretzel. A few early runners actually stopped before the radio tower turn.Which is pretty understandable. I was 3secs off my best. I can see where i eased off because a guy some 20 or so meters began to drop power so I did too before thinking I would test a higher gearing. I am now pretty sure/cocky enough to think I could have beaten my best by 3-5 seconds. Just need to hold 360 w on average

Yeah, and despite a fluffed gear change and power drop that cost a few secs at least
We all need a race!

 

[bobinski]

Andy, you going to put a ride in before Sunday?

 

[CXRAndy]

Probably not, only a gentle ride if i did, so i'd be slow and no competition... now next week

Zwift gps now has strava live segments so you can see how far ahead or behind you are for that segment
