In my heat was only 700-800 rider, it wouldn't help me if there was 2000 riders. First third went pretty well but after that it was start to getting to be fight against fatigue. I had difficulties stay in a pace.

43:28 for me.

I really struggled for the first 10 mins after things had settled down and could barely push > 200W. I don't know if this was because of my aborted earlier ride and that I hadn't warmed up properly for this ride. I got to the bottom of the first climb in approx 350th place. Going up the climb woke my legs up and I got to the top in approx 300th. From there I stayed near the front of whatever group I was in as we picked off other packs and finished 220th OTR, even coming in 3rd for the bunch sprint (which is about the best ever for me).

Pretty pleased with that. I may give the stage another go this week depending on the weather itrw. I'm pretty sure I could go faster if I can get in a quicker group at the start as I was pretty comfortable today and know I could have pushed harder.

I'll update the league table with today's results now.....

Looks like the cats are set correctly ... all B riders so far ahead of C riders

Next stage volcano circuit sounds like it means high average speed, speed probably kills my legs in a certain point but it's probably fun stage. If i had a chance i try to increase my ftp one of these stage.

Looks like 8 laps of the volcano --> 34.6km Will be lots of lapped riders on that stage Get out the pen fast and get in a fast group else you'll be slowed down and may find it hard to move past the slower riders.

Yes i'm aware about the name of game that stage, if it's possible i try to join the heat where is more riders than today. Hoping endless draft

Who else is riding the ToW tomorrow? Not sure if I'll do it at 'race pace' yet, or jump on Zwift earlier to ride for an hour or so before the race. Not sure I can beat my time from yesterday, so may just go for distance instead

Martin, excellent improvement mate
Bodes well for ToC

(Goes off to work on glutes a bit more)

Get me off that table!

The glory of winning Cat C is yours for the taking.

Too many hills Carl. With your significant improvement and weight loss, you're most likely to take the title

I’m doing the ride at 7pm tonight.

Norry great effort there. I’m scared to ask what glute recruitment is but it looks like it’s worked!

 

[Alongo]

Not sure about tonight, HID is lecturing me about recoving from this infection, she's probably right and a full on effort may knock me back. Might try a 80% effort as breathing is not right yet .
