Zwift Chat

Looks like there are 16 teams in your division rather than the proposed 15. Three teams went with only 5 riders for the first race, so you could have up to 95 racing in later stages.

Ah, didn't spot that

I'm still kicking myself for not using a power up to bridge across to the @Whorty group before the start of the second lap. It was a much bigger group than Dave and I had, and I have the feeling that I could have tucked in that group and not had to work quite so hard. Oh Well

The group was about 15 when it fully formed ... I did zero work on the front and came second in the final sprint I may have been sandbagging the whole of that last lap

I was struggling with my breathing for an hour or so after too. Seems to be fine this AM but I have a banging headache - I think I should have drank more fluids last night.

@Joffey a listener question was read to a scientist from SIS on the Cycling Podcast a while back asking abou this exact issue regarding headaches the next day after Zwift races. As well as fluids, the guy did say to ensure you re-fuel properly with food (protein & carbs) post-ride

 

[Whorty]

For those who use Apple TV, do you have a tall TV stand to fix your TV to, and a shelf on there for the ATV? I have a desk in front of my bike at the moment with my laptop on, but thinking of getting ATV but wanted to save space and get rid of the desk ... any pics to see what it might look like if I went this way?

I've changed my connection to run through a wifi extender, but since then all the other riders seem to periodically disappear...

I was showing up as 30th before the finish line, then when the results loaded I was 87th!

Whats that about?!

Ta for that, I'll make much more of an effort. I scoffed a cold fajita down but that's not probably good enough. I'll have a look for the episode 👍

That’s my set up Carl. A photo I posted a few weeks ago when we were doing the last league. The appletv box is circled in yellow. It looks very small. Partly because of the size of my head 😄, but also because it is very small. You could fix it directly to the wall if you don’t want to dedicate a shelf to it. I think obviously dedicated reasonable size tv for turbo is defo the way forward though. Some people don’t have the space for that of course. But if you do then it makes things much simpler.

This is my set up, my ATV is the same size as Tommy's but looks bigger in this photo as it's closer. I have circled this in red. You may also see my fan (circled in blue), my power line (circled in yellow) and my TV (circled in green).

I hope this helps somehow

Top quality circling work 👌👌. Although the picture raises as many questions as answers... what’s all the shite under the tv? And what’s in the drawers?!!

 

[Whorty]

Thanks both .... I was looking at something like this ... built in shelves so I think based on the pics it should work

Just need to buy the ATV and stand now

In the drawers are gold tees and a few bike lights and their various attachments. Under the TV we have a bag of pegs, some coaster wheels that fit on my bike bag and a plastic bag with a tool kit and spares for my MTB! Oh, there is some cable ties and a can on Lynx in view also!
