Whats the plan then?? 
Yep.
Dunno about magic shoes, I dont go in for bike upgrades either really. I think I ‘bought’ some wheels once.
You mustve been doing something wrong! 
Anyway, I use Runcline app now, manually set the speed in Zwift to match the treadmill. Forget all that frustration with under/over reading wearables.
Make sure @NickBerry doesn’t beat me again 
No plan. Just smash it…
…but seriously @mw22, I don’t know?
I’m going to try and make the main group from the off at 600W down to 350W for the first 90s…
…then if you’re in that group, I can draft you 
But it’s pretty hard at 4W/kg for the whole race, so you might want to drop back?
I’ve a meeting 1130-1200 now, so going to setup at 11, get changed and have the meeting in my Lycra 
I do the “FTP Test (shorter)” as a warm up, just the first part ~20mins, as I find that gets me nicely warmed up

I’m going to warm up by replacing the floorboards in my son’s bedroom, cut them to bits last week fixing our kitchen lights.
Will be like Chris Hoy after that, except angry with the splinters, you have been warned

Its a staggered start, so only Cat Bs - no excuse for not making that front group. Just need to wind it up as that clock counts down from 10 and be at the power you expect to need for those 30 seconds. If you are still winding up its almost game over.
You dont fancy a TriTalk team breakaway sometime on the penultimate lap… I mean who’d expect that. Everyone easing up to make sure they get over the hill and down to the start/finish before they start focussing on the sprint. The 3 of us jump and get a gap - I’ll tow you round up the hill then you 2 can have a smashfest for glory
I say this like I’m Matt Spooner and can actually force a breakaway let alone stay in it

Bit a nightmare yesterday on 3R Volcano Circuit Flat Race. 635 people in the race. On the 3rd lap I was doing a pretty good job in the front pack. Then we came up to lap slower riders. As we lapped one group, I seemed to latch on to the slow riders, when I passed them I was 2 seconds off the back. Tried all I could to catch them, but at an average speed over 50kph it wasn’t possible. Settled back in second group and finished 24th
This is not a race where I am strong. Very flat and very tactical. With over 600 riders on a 4km loop, from lap 3 onwards we were constantly lapping riders, made it really difficult to see where the rest of your group was

I may have missed this but is anyone doing Zwift Racing League on a Tuesday night? If not could we get a / some teams together for the new season which is probably starting in Jan? Multiple teams of 6. You must race in your ZP cat or above so if we have 5 cat b and 1 cat C then we join the B division. currently 7.45 on a tuesday for mens.

My ship is going down big time today. Might squeeze a run in before dark but doubtful.
Will Zwift tonight hopefully.
There was a bit of talk, setting up teams was a bit of a ballache (you need a captain and a manager) and I think we let it drift as we were already TTT-ing on Thursday’s.
IIRC we probably need about 8-10 B’s and below signed up (or A’s and below if in a higher league) to regularly get a fullish team with life etc throwing some of us out each week.
I’d be up for it…seems to the be the big weekly event now, it seems to crash ZP when they process results…

I’m having a nightmare!!!
Decade old laptop has decided it won’t run Zwift.
Actual work laptop is updating, as I’ve transferred email domains.
Client laptop cannot install anything on.
My wife’s personal SSD is my next target…

I’m going for L’Etape Rapha kit today
