Well done Andy 2nd place , I upped my ftp from 241 to 244

Cheers Chris, good to improve ftp even at xmas.

. I saw you shoot out of the gate leading, so I upped my sprint. We must of swapped and I didn't see you again. I felt really sick early on from Xmas excess . That settled. I missed placed my position just before the sprint finish, but overtook about 8 or so riders leading to the line.

I hope i didn't destroy your 1st place before the race in a warm-up. Anyway excellent work in a race, both of you.

I'm using a food diary app that shows calories I'm currently 1500 over my allowance of 2000 it would be more if I didn't do a ride earlier

Hey @Breedon ,
What is that app you're using?

Good power output you had in a race. Nearly magical 300W.

A tad off February this year. Im still in base training mode, so very pleased to be only a little below peak. February/March will start VO2 Max workouts. Im hoping to get to 300W Sweetspot before then

1 hour mostly gentle ride completed. Put in a couple of sprint sections, but mostly kept the watts and hrm low. Chest still tight, wheezy and coughing, but needed to do something.

You have to be patient Carl. Ride steady easy pace, no deep breathing until your chest clears. Hard breathing will just push infection deeper and take longer to clear .

It's called lose it, quite good as you can link Strava to it but that's if you pay £35 a year

Patience is not one of my key skills ..... but yes, I need to try and stay patient with this chest infection. I was quite controlled today, apart from a couple of sprint sections which was rather silly, but I couldn't let others out sprint me Just had a lemsip, that should help

If you'd like I can give your wife a few more choice things to say to you as you're gasping for breath. I had to google the term she called you before ...Pillock.. I like it.

The Welsh contingent. @rob01792 @Add Martyn John.

Quote from Geraint Thomas " the hardest thing: just maintaining fitness. I'm sure it will come back. I can feel myself growing - sideways. Now I'm just keen to get back in to it, I've had enough of all this.

"I think I can get in that [Tour-winning] shape again but every Grand Tour is different. You never know, [Martyn] John or [Rob] Taylor might improve more than me next year and Addski will be different again if he's going for the one [Grand Tour], and not two.

"But I can definitely get to that level again. It just depends what everyone else is like."
