Zwift Chat

[mjd1988]

Morning chaps! Finally feeling human again. I think we'll call it the lost weekend.

I see I've missed lots of sprint bantz whilst I've been away! Has the smack talk started for tomorrow yet?

Hoping for a tailwind from storm Barra. Actually hoping that power doesn't go out.

The climb means I'm definitely not going to gain time on GC so it's damage limitation mode. I'll probably mark @Whorty - I think you may have me on the climb but might come together on descent and chase down some lightweights

To be fair, if I can stay near you on the climb, and I have someone to hold on to on descent and the run in, I'd be happy. I'm expecting a lonely climb though ... but we'll see. Legs feel ok today after the race yesterday, so should be as fresh as can be tomorrow.

Is the Legsnapper that hill that I went up on the Innsbruckring course?

It's only a short hill, about 90-120 seconds long ... it's on the main Innsbruck flat loop. But even though not long, it's a bugger to race up as everyone sprints up it ... it's where the splits happen on the Innsbruck races.

First time up is not too bad ... 3rd or 4th and the legs start to sting a bit

I just looked up the event and it's the same course I did the other day when badge hunting, i.e. Innsbruckring. 4 laps. Yeah, will hurt.

I'm wondering if I should sign up my son on ZP and the CycleChat team? He's only 55 kg, so should be flying up the Leg Snapper next wednesday. The LS kills me 2nd or at the latest 3rd time up.

He tried Zwift the other day, and it was quite hard for me to see him break the 10w/kg (using his weight and height), where I can hardly do 8 w/kg, and never in a race!
I have now created a free Zwift account for him (he just turned 14), as he was told by his football physician that cycling would be beneficial in helping with the groin problems he regularly suffers from when playing football.

I will try and drag him away from Fortnite / CS:GO / FIFA tonight, as I'm not riding tonight. Then I can coach him how to draft and help with powerups etc.

Oh fug. I am in pain. 20 minutes of a zone 2/3 workout at my Oct FTP and I'm cooked. Legs shot, breath missing, can't raise the HR, WTF.

I think I need to reassess my fitness status and reset my FTP to something I can build from.

Oh well working towards 2022 Spring

It will come back. You were riding great before your accident.
