Virtual Zwift Rides

Surely your power curve isnt right - you can hold 900w for 2 mins, but can’t break 1000w for 5 seconds?

Edit - oh youve just updated it :slight_smile:

Yeah, seemed to have a misnomer ride in there - which I’ve now removed :slight_smile:
I’ve checked all of them manually now and they are all good for the past year.

@fruit_thief - Your 5min W/kg is better than 66% of ZP riders. So, for you, I’d say you need race with a five minute finishing climb, after being sat in the bunch all day.
Something like the Libby Hill after party would suit - just make sure to equip a climbing bike, as that’ll probably fair quite well in the bunch, then come into its own on the climb. (Although, even if it doesn’t, your 20m power being better than 76% of ZP riders means you should be able to stay with the bunch just fine)

EDIT: also, for the double crit races, just do the second one :+1:t3: People with large points might do both, be knackered from the first, so you can mop up their points in the second race.

2h 10m of spinning round with Coco, 83k @2.2w/kg, bit of interval work and doing something different for each of the bonus multipliers, high cadence, low cadence, out of saddle, puppy paws

What are “puppy paws”?

Leaning on the bars with forearms pretending you’ve got tri bars attached

Had a quick look at power curve. 1s and 2s bests appear to have been set last night, not at the finish but trying to bridge a gap that opened up mid-race. Pretty sure I was seated too.

This sprinting stuff makes less and less sense :thinking:

Just do the “Vo2 Microbursts” workout within Zwift once per week :+1:t3:

Or take your pick from these to focus on anaerobic systems:

Anyone for the WTRL Auto Cat chase tomorrow at 12.20?

Hmm, autocat? Could be tempted. [sandbag] running with a friend first thing tomorrow though, will see how feel after that [/sandbag].

So, my evening plans have had a last minute shuffle. A mate has begged me (sorry @Jgav) to backfill his team in zrl.

I’ve been running already today and my legs felt total crap. So I don’t think I’m going to be of any use!

Don’t worry, I found out that my team was auto deleted because I didn’t sign up enough people by the deadline :joy:

I’ll look for somewhere else to race, or join the local running Tuesday intervals session IRL.

Good luck GB.
It’s going to string out at sprint one… And likely be even worse after 2.
I’m quite nervous :rofl:

Still teams on wtrl face book page begging for last minute riders due to shortages.

I’m not in any sort of form or shape to do anything different to what I normally do. Ride hard, hang on for about 30% then roll in solo! :joy:

It was a lot more fun when I raced in cat C. Could do the effort to make front group and sit in. Still some mega power put out by those at the front if the race.

Just don’t die is the first target :joy:

Massive zwift fuck up. Nobody can get in to wtrl. I’m riding ‘with’ Eric Schlange and he’s getting well stressed.

Are they supposed to be faces in rock statues behind :thinking:

Or am I seeing things :joy:

Less than ideal. It got a bit wobbly earlier on every time a Tour de Zwift was starting
