Completed TDZ stage 1 Fasted

Zwift power has me at 1hr11.38 88th from 183 finishers
Strava has me at 1hr11.10secs

You choose Alan which figure you're using

I slightly faded in racing terms, being dropped a couple of times from groups, power remained with Zwift upping my FTP to

I was hoping sub 1hr10, but getting dropped from groups scuppered that
here are couple shots and video from nr the start and my solo pathetic sprint

Gulp! This'll probably be one of my only chances to do a century ride on Zwift. Hope a few more join up to the 180km event, otherwise it's going to get lonely...

It will be torture without a big group

Yes, probably better to hop into the coco cadence group than to do it in a small event.

Here's the TdZ times that I've captured so far. Shout if I've missed anyone.
I've added 20 seconds to the Strava times of anyone who didn't have a Zwiftpower time. This is to make some estimate for The time cycling to the start line that Zwiftpower uses. (i lost 45s or so). Bit of a bummer really that Zwiftpower adds that time but best I can come up with.

I was quite well rested this morning with high 90s Garmin 'body battery'

Zwift race depleted 58 points from morning score.

Let’s hope the sync with ZP is more reliable for the coming stages!

I’m hoping to do Stage 2 tomorrow, but might switch to a weekend if children’s bed times interfere (having trouble getting them into bed and then staying there at the moment!)

Riding on the turbo means you can’t get off for a pee or to get more food/drink without losing the draft, though. Nowhere near as much freewheeling, and quite a bit more tedium (in spite of Zwift’s lovely graphics). A 180km ride passes faster on the turbo, granted, but it’ll still be 5 hours plus…

For an event, organisers often schedule short breaks - say every 60k. Unless it's a race.

Set off to do a real world century at 8pm in the middle of January and we can debate it when you get back! 😄👍

I’ve done one setting off at 5am in January (-3 degrees, warm drinks in bottles froze pretty quickly…)
