When the field is bigger, it normally comes back together after Whitehall. Tim Martin was caught sleeping too!

Same as the Swiss guy who dropped me on Box Hill like i wasn’t moving from about 25 seconds behind me! He was flying!

Jumped on the second short Kirchmair race tonight, in London. Was fairly steady with a little attack up Whitehall the first time but regrouped.
Stuck with the attack on the second time and cocked up where I was, a big group got away, I did actually get back on with 800 to go and should have probably kept going, hung around the back of the sprint for zero points! Just timed it wrong.
Meh

I did same race Jeff, only realised at the end. Stuck with the very big main group right until the end, usual story in the last 500m all the world and his goat sprinted past 
56th but surprisingly got a few more points

Er I don’t think so, it was only 11 minutes long😄
Lack of a sprint is really frustrating, don’t feel like I’ll ever be able to finish high even though I feel like can hang with the group now most times.
Thinking about another FTP test soon, maybe using a TT up the Alpe
So far in the 14 days of Jan, have done 15 races… Is that even healthy?

The sprinting is a frustration but when I start racing IRL I’ll forget about it. I don’t have the chance to attack up the hills either really, maybe it’s a tactic I should try on the little ones like tonight.
The Alpe will be a good FTP test but it will be under 60 minutes unless you hammer it from the lead in.
Erm, some were double days but I doubt you’d get many coaches advising that plan, but what the hell, get the most out of the new turbo!

You’re doing the wrong courses. You need to do Box Hill, Volcano Climb, Innsbruck Leg Snapper etc.

No parkrun today so I thought I’d have a go at the Newbury velo desert TT
Tried to ride around sweet spot for the duration - that still felt bloody hard mind!
Zwift power has me in 4th well beaten by guys significantly ‘lighter’ than me!

I started off with a vague intention to try a FTP test this morning, but heart wasn’t really in it. Change of plan after 15 minutes to “cake ride”, to quote someone here.
Wife went for a run- much too cold for me

How could someone Zwift in the middle of all this clobber? Know we are different but I reckon the stress of it would put my HR into zone 3 before turning a single pedal 
No offence if anyone here

, is this like one of those hidden picture quizzes where you’ve got to find various things

Oh yeah, I hadn’t spotted that either. Mainly because it’s covered in other stuff. Surely you’d bang your bum on the ? handweights with every stroke though

No Zwifting in my toilet of Doom .
I like how he was OCD enough to orientate his bottles & oils in a comely manner .
