First ramp test for me today on Zwift , missed the crit city race I was hoping to do because of an overrunning meeting so did this instead. Completed the 360W minute but stopped right away - could tell the leg detonation was imminent so treated that banner as the finish line. Treated myself to 3x1min at 400W after 10 mins gentle spinning to make the most of the session. Probably means I may have had another 30s @380 with a gun to my head?!
Zwift came up with an FTP of 271 which is frankly bonkers sounding to me, although I remember when I did my first 25 it’s surprising what you can do with a number on your back IRL. I did a 22:27 10 mile TT off roughly that power last summer so would be interesting to be able to do a 25 at this point. Damn COVID!
Frustratingly the maths says still not quite there. This last FTP came from a Zwift race with lots of surges. So am thinking maybe a focussed steady state effort is what’s needed to eke out that extra watt.
Ps hope trotter censorship is satisfactory. I tried covering them with a pair of shorts but the pinkies were visible, fungus and all
Triathletes - a breed of people so self obsessed. They think strangers care so much about how much they weigh, that they are prepared to see their disgusting feet to get proof
You’re so close! One more focused test after a week of a good diet cutting out any rubbish and then doing the test post-throne and then not having a drink while you cool down, then towelling yourself dry and peeing just before stepping on the scales should do it!
Depends on the feet. Some nice ladies feet on the end of a cracking set of pins is always ok, but manky mens triathlon feet, with bunions, and bony bits and black toenails I really dont want in my life.
