Ironman Virtual Racing

It’s similar to unclipping your Garmin at the top of that local climb and just throwing it at the 30MPH/village sign, so that you can claim the KoM.

Or pausing the Garmin at the bottom, then starting it once you’ve a bit of speed up - so the algo creates some pseudo time between those waypoints.

I can’t remember where I read it now but I saw a very narrow list of approved trainers for this. My 1st Gen Elite Direto wasn’t on there IIRC.

  1. BIKE LEG EQUIPMENT: Your ride on ROUVY must be completed using one of the following indoor trainers compatible with the ROUVY AR application:
  • TechnoGym: MyCycling
  • Tacx: NEO, NEO 2T, NEO Bike, Flux, Flux 2, Flux S
  • Wahoo: Kickr, Kickr Core, Kickr Bike
  • Saris: Hammer H1,H2,H3
  • ELITE: Direto X, Drivo II, Suito, Zumo

I’m out :laughing:

Me too - computrainer

Give it a go, see what happens.

Edit:
Actually, dont. I suspect if you are able to submit dodgy data, and I don’t think you will, their data analytics will detect it. They are now asking every one to race honourably.

deffo!! @Poet ask for @trisam or @grifter run files. smash the bike and see where it goes. Just as an experiment!!

Pfft!

Why would I need their runs?
I can do one from my own house faster than they can :wink:

ETA: Activity now removed from Strava, because I ain’t no cheat :wink:

(Id juiced my 10km race from last year from 36:30 to 33:25, it only took an hour of basic code, I reckon I could get HR and power to be reasonable given a day or two)

I guess you’re taking part in the Elite/Competition series?
Seems like way too much effort at the moment, I can’t muster the will power to do anything hard whatsoever.

No just done one Challenge race. No interest in qualifying for 70.3 worlds. Undecided about competition series, and this is as near to a proper race as I am getting any time soon, however, I suspect that it is detrimental to good training, racing hard every weekend

Is modifying your run time honorable if it is scripted really well?
