No its a fenix thingy with solar.
No worries, it was our last gerbil. Wife was particularly fond of it. I was not overly bothered about the little thing, but obviously I was affected albeit on a unknown physical level.

I was concerned of breaks .... I thought Paul and Lee might try to go, and if they went together would be hard to bring back so I was trying to stay near at least one them. I struggle to trust the blob will catch a breakaway ... same in normal races ... so I'm always chasing anything down just in caseI was watching general positioning, and Michael played a clever hand, holding back sat at the back. Carl was bouncing all over the place, as was Bob.
Just watched the video ... @mjd1988 is the master at race craft
And whilst you can't see the finish line on the video, looks to be close to a bike length victory to Michael.What was also strange was when Tony had the camera on Michael, even though he's in the bunch the time gap shows as 1 second to everyone else. I'd be fine taking 1 second off Michael's time for that stage and handing the deserved victory to him

I didnāt trust my understanding of the new draft and so felt need to be as close to front as possible especially every time. A stronger B moved to the front.I was watching general positioning, and Michael played a clever hand, holding back sat at the back. Carl was bouncing all over the place, as was Bob.

If you google it as I did a year or so back I think youāll find thereās a bit of mystery around it. You can do things on a trial and error basis though. Ensure youāre drinking enough fluids before a ride. I will try and neck a bottle of water with electrolyte tab while I warm up. Giving yourself enough time to warm up. Stretching, massage your calves. Stuff like that has worked for me.

Itās a minefield

Try lowering saddle 5mm- seems to be the answer to every cycling ailment.

Andy, I recent had to wear a medical HRM for 24h. My resting HR fell to 34. I canāt use it as an excuse. Recovery time after a training ride during the 24h where I hit 166bpm , so below my peak 180ish, was pretty quick .I find it all fascinating.
Cheers, it's just started since I moved to Wattbike - think i'm gonna be doing lots of fiddling.
I had the same. It seemed to me if the saddle was even a smidge too high my calves cramped. So was a bit if trial and error just dropping it bit by bit until its now at what feels depot on.
Same with handle bars. Were far too low, killed shoulders, so raised them to a nice comfy height.

Not a bad idea ... we know 'when' we want to race, we can just look at the options around that time every Wednesday and choose one of the races I guess? We'd have to all enter A cat pen though to ensure we can see each other, and also ensure no one gets DQ'd and so we all show in the results (we'd also all need to wear an HRM to avoid getting DQ'q too)
I'll maybe drop it a bit then and adjust the saddle. I might change the saddle anyway, it's a funny shape.
Its quite enlightening this hidden physiological stuff. Even though I feel Ok, my metrics are saying I need to rest. This watch measures 'heart rate variability' ,heart rate, breathing rate and I think body temperature too. It combines these to assess your energy resources.
I knew I would probably need a rest, but to see it in graphical form is as you say fascinating

What do people think about moving races to Thursdays for the next series.
From a selfish perspective Iām struggling to make Wednesdays
But also going forward Wednesday kind of clashes with the wrtl league on Tuesday.

Really annoyed with myself last night, stupidly decided to pair HRM and forgot it stops your avatar.
Put in a big effort to get back to the group and settled back in, but then just completely missed a surge.
Tried to rejoin and nearly made it but there was another surge when I was a second off the back. Then I hemorrhaged time.
Expected my fitness to come back with the racing but it's just not there yet!
