I’ve done 2:03 solo at just over 200w.
Inc 54:30 Alp…
So I’d say easy sub 2:30 in a group.

Yes, it’s very easy, you just type a number in a box.

ZTPL race. Crazy fast with a whopper of a mountain to finish off. It was good, but could not hold the lead group. The race was ripped apart completely. It was rather hard work.
Haute stage 3 done. Gnarly old course Quatch quest. Dropped in Titans, solo’d the Epic feeling a bit sorry for myself.
Reached the Alpe in 1:06. That’s a little tempter just outside off stump so duly took a swing at it, overtook quite a few and got a 53:40 Alpe to squeak under 2:00, 31st.
Solid 3 days done.

Duathon results (Provisional) are available. I am 6th in the world overall and 3rd in AG 45-49. @TTowel is 160 points ahead of me.
In both bike legs I am first overall, and Hywel is second.

Top work and that is good company!
@Matthew_Spooner and @TROSaracen good work well done.
I was all set for getting outside…until I went outside at first light! So fired up the Zwift and joined the EVO 160km ride. It’s a good group no flyers but once I slipped off the pace at 70 miles that was me riding in solo, nearly climbed off but stuck with it to finish about 20 mins down on the group.
I need to be riding on aerobars more, i sacrifice position because Cda has no influence.

Good work hanging in.
Aerobar work is important and have to say I’ve let it slide in pursuit of watts.
Currently allow any training session above threshold and any races is any position goes.
Sweetspot and below training and Z2 rides on aero bars. Hope that will get me dialled in for the early April TTs.

Tech question …
I ride Zwift via Apple TV (brilliant), tacx neo 2 pairs in seconds. I have a garmin heart rate monitor but rarely use it, as ZPower needs HR for some races I would like to have HR data too.
Garmin does not seem to pair with Zwift/ATV can anybody help me out please, keep it simple, I mean basic because tech confuses me.
Many Thanks
I’m not a Zwift user…but is your Garmin HRM Ant+ or Bluetooth? I believe ATV only pairs with Bluetooth devices.
ATV will also only pair with 3 devices & one of those is your remote control, anymore than this & I believe you have to go through the companion app.
I’m not a Zwift user though, just a lurker. Hopefully someone more savvy will be along soon.
I’ve never been able to get anything ant+ to connect with Zwift. Dongle in, the ant+ icon is active in the Zwift pairing screen but nothing ever connects 
You can get Bluetooth hrms for about 30 quid, I’ve got a Decathlon one that works fine
@Duckhen as @r0bh says, I bought a Garmin hrm with Bluetooth (and ant+) which my apple device picks up. My old Garmin hrm only had ant+ and I cba to work out how to connect via a dongle.
Thanks everyone spot on info, in need a Bluetooth HRM to begin with then see if it picks up 1 remote control 2 Tacx Neo and 3 HRM…
Never had a problem with ant+ or bluetooth on Zwift. Used Polar, Garmin and now have a Wahoo I think it is.
Bluetooth might struggle to connect sometimes, so just use ant+ those days. (Windows 10) never had drop out issues but ant+ dongle I have in powered USB port which I was told helps. Ipad Bluetooth always been fine.
Bluetooth HRM, I use tickr. Cost £40 , did have a strap break on one; the plastic clasp but apart from that no issues.
@Duckhen see we just did the same event… And both finished unlike Mr Brownlee 
Killed myself at the end trying to stay infront of him 🤦
Do wish the recovery was a bit easier…I never dropped below 3.5!
Yes saw you up there mixing it with the fast boys, I was late join after an earlier race, jumped on for a bit extra. I like the EVO rides well done hard couple of hill repeats at the after party!
Shameless plug, Team BL13 Just won the TTT in our Division. 6th fastest in the WRTL out of 1600 teams. We would have finished in 12th place in the Prem Division, faster than 9 Prem teams
We finished equal first overall in our division with Frenchy Fusion, who have 2 former pro riders and one of the worlds highest ranked Zwifters and we beat Canyon Coalition. @Daz amazing team captain, and by far highest points scorer in our team.
Livestream here… this is what pain looks like. On the limit for 39 mins, new 20 min highest HR of 176 (max is 187) so 95% of my max HR
