Nice 👍
I used to race a lot on the road, now, a couple of decades on.. I do Zwift races and am looking forward to my next one but.. This idea of it being fun.. I don't really understand, am I missing something, it's kind of just suffering. I do it so there must be something in it and I do love it, but it's not a simple love. Do you have any insights?
Not so bad at all in my view, for a first circuit race. Much if not all the ability to sprint depends on what kind of muscle fibers mother nature has granted you: short red fiber is for power burts, long white ones for sustained endurance. Training can always improve the weak side of your performance, but genetic rules overall.
Who knew … the new Zwifting superfood is Grade A quality Canadian maple syrup! 🚴♂️🇨🇦🍁🙂
Look at them watts! Strong riding and finish Katie. You will be smashing those hills over in GC and when spring comes in the UK.
Did you see Lloyd Cole or maybe Aztec Camera during the race through Glasgow?
Wow! What is your max HR?
I do the same thing with maple syrup! So much cheaper than gels. 😊
Looks like a fun little circuit, I recognise most of what it's supposed to be having cycled in Glasgow quite a lot.
Hills? This was a team points race so It’s all about segment times – Fastest Through Segment and First Across the Line and unless your with the fast front bunch it’s not really possible to score any segment points which are the most valuable. Everyone gets finishing points relative to their position.
Of course you are nervous! "Good on ya!"
This race was brutal, so much more intense than the first race in London and the TTT
Well done its a hard race 👏👏👏👏
I was in the white van….'think I saw you going past 🙂
I finished this race too. It was very very brutal. Finished 7th. To get FAL and FTS you need to be in the front of the race because you have the most draft and speed. On your own it is too difficult.
In my humble opion you lost the race in the beginning because you lost the front of the race. Especially for a B-cat race the 5-6 W/Kg is nothing for these kind of segments. Maybe there is a difference between a male/female competition.
The most important thing is that you had fun (with your team).
racing for indoors and fun/adventure for outdoors is awesome!
zwift races can be powered by…. external electric motors which means are useless 🥱
