I took it far too easy but on the last hill bill kindly waited so I ended up pushing to catch and managed to have a little sprint finish. Should have stayed to original plan because the last 6km has took it out of me.

I was worried in case you overcooked yourself to catch me. Well done though you did it, and I was sure you wouldn't be able to.

My effort in the 1st 10km left me something in reserve!

Did you get a better ftp?

I thought there was a chance but nope - relegated me to 264W, my run of increases sadly came to an end. It was stifling though, I'm blaming that.

 

[BKIain]

Yep 26.5deg but only 34% humidity - had the garage door open for a little fresh air.

Iain was killing me up that hill kept hoping he'd give up but he kept coming back right till the top. Well past 170BPM for a long stint.

Yes well done, that lead you got before the climb did for me. We were probably quite close going up and down the hill.

You should see the state of me now.

Must be adrenaline. I was sitting on the sofa at 5.55 and thought may as well I could just stop if I needed to, but I was having to much fun. antihystamine starting to work

Hayfever drugs kicked in, just need a good bout of asthma to challenge the top dogs.

Thanks @BKIain, I knew I'd be weak on the incline so tried to make hay in the relatively flat run up to it. You maxxed me out on that climb, I thought you had me several times. Sure you'll get me on the Saturday re-run.

Bit windy for outside but I might do something this afternoon to break up the day

Yeah I'm 50/50 doing a short ride outside or burning some Free Trial time on Rouvy... Will see what the weather's like at lunchtime, I am a Wus so it's probably 60/40.

35mph gusts here so it's definitely not happening outside

What do we think to the challenge of the stars this weekend? Sprinters tomorrow, head to head knock out over 1.2km
Then climbers Sunday I think is a 3 or 4 km uphill knock out. Could be good to watch

A bit too short both of them, in my opinion.
