That's better....managed to keep the B's end-up with a 39:59 on stage 1 :smile:.

No sign of @Breedon in the race, although he was warming up.

Goes to show how important a good start is on these mass-start races. Had a much faster start today than Wednesday so was able to get dragged along by a faster group.

Shattered now though. A good evening's rest and plenty of wine before hitting the rw tomorrow :biggrin:.

Well I've busted my you know what on my first event on Zwift.

Stage 1 of the ToW is complete. 73m58s and I am fecked. 702nd out of 799 the last time I checked. Hey not the strongest person in the event this time.

Had a hard week this week, what with week 1 of my Gran Fondo workout plan and the ToW starting. Day off tomorrow at least and then see how Sunday goes. Maybe a short jaunt ITRW, if no rain or a ride on BRVR to keep the legs loose.

Off for a curry and a beer :mrpig: :popcorn: :angel: :whistle:

I was doing ok until it went vertical up to the bridge. I lost about 90 places and the hovered around 710-730 iirc. The legs were shot coming back out of the jungle and I was having trouble generating 160-170w. I'd bump up to 210-220 up the rises but I could not maintain any power on the flats and little descents. Still I was only going for a completion not a fast time, for me :laugh:.

Looking forward to the rest of them with hopefully a few thousand more that I can wheel suck on.

Well done. It is a very energy sapping course, I was going to ride again today but still wrecked from yesterday

Don’t feel you have to keep the B’s end up... I was perfectly happy when you were propping up the C’s! ^_^

Seriously though great time Pete . I know what you mean about the importance of the start. I ‘let’ a faster group go at the start because I wasn’t confident I could sustain the pace they intended to go for the duration. But in the end I would of liked to been in a slightly faster group.

What you ideally need for that little section on the bridge is either a Feather or Aero PowerUp .... they are a godsend if available :okay: Else the legs get a kicking. On that course too you don't get much rest from that bridge down until you're climbing again out of the jungle. A real leg sapper!

I'd like to like this, because that is so true, but can't bring myself to :blush::cry:

I don't remember that i had any PowerUps in stage 1, or maybe they came so late that i didn't noticed or care about them anymore :wacko:
