Stage : 43.31
Really good course profile for me, happy with that effort. Power slightly up and had a good group to help me up the KOM
Nightmare, is the .fit file there?

3 seconds off my time ... cracking effort 
That was better.
First time in 3 weeks I’ve felt ok on the bike.
I’d felt a lot better yesterday, but decided today was just about completing Stage 4. I didn’t push hard at the start, but managed to get into a good group that saw me around 310 out of 720 on the road.
The slower start helped and allowed me to gradually increase power without breaking into fits of coughing. By the end I’d managed to work my way up to around 280th on the road. Came in tired but it felt under control. Still can’t really push it as you need to at the start of a race and my average power at 232W was still over 20W down on where I was before the virus, but it felt like I’m on my way back today.
45.55 and average power of 232W and 3.W/kg was pretty good after 3 weeks of illness and Zone 2 recovery rides!
PS I’ve lost 3kg in weight over this period, but I’m really not recommending the way I’ve lost it!

I wasn't, I've had two weeks off, and just couldn't hold the power ... I had a great start up at position 35 for a bit, but by ocean boulevard I was down to 80th, and it headed south from there
Still 44:37 ... Bring on the hills

I saw you up ahead and thought, "bloody hell, he's going some!". When the group I was in pulled you back and you joined the group I was assuming that would be temporary until you shot off up the KoM like a little goat. You really must have lost some fitness to lose my wheel ... I'll take every and any victory I can on the hillsI wasn't, I've had two weeks off, and just couldn't hold the power ...

Ignoring the an extra zero on distance and 30bpm lower HR I can do those numbers
Last 5 miles he averaged 433W !!
