Virtual Zwift Rides

Like you wouldn’t know. Each of those mini surges to get back on was just chipping away at the very last of my resolve. But we did it. And I never would’ve worked as hard on my own, even in a race. Something about the TTTs.

I don’t think every rider in a TT needs a HR belt… Incase it happens in future

87/311 teams. :+1:

Quite a long way down the frappe list, but got some teams to chase.

That’s not bad at all. Especially as a few of us are far from peak form.

My ZRL team are currently sat in 6th in frappe.
Which frankly terrifies me for the ZRL TTT (and why I ended up back in cat A!).

Power drop out with 600m to go, sprint already started. After 70+km of pretty hard riding.

Ouch, unfair!

Thought you’d have been doing the balls out races later? I’ve got to go swimming :frowning:

Wasn’t feeling great, so went for bit of endurance.
Almost quit inside 10 mins, riding over 4wkg
HR didn’t drop below 165 for first 45 mins.
Wasn’t what I expected.

That’s got to hurt!!

Normally I would’ve thrown the toys out the pram and kept throwing them out all day.
Think I was pleased I’d toughed it out for 80 mins longer than I expected.
Not sure Id’ve contested the win…but the training was in the bag.

If it happens on Tues I will cry.

I may struggle next week at the TTT.

I’ve just taken delivery of my loan smart trainer again. Which means TT bike and lower Watts! :man_facepalming:t3::sob::sob:

I’m stuffed!

can’t see that in your signups?
I’d love to see what they are like IRL?!?!

I’ve not had my race pass sent to me yet. I bet they can’t even do a sub 24 - 10 #losers

erm, well two of them appear to be actual german RR champs, so I’ll let it pass :wink:

They are obvs “gaming” the system, though - keeping their power JUST within range, etc etc.

Yep - its the epitome of sandbagging. They’ll win every week - normally by a huge margin. Not fussed; just hope it doesn’t change the dynamic of the races for the rest of us that much.
They’d do fine in lower A divisions - but seem quite happy dominating us Bs.

I just find that mentality unbelievably sad.
