Jealous of all the stage 4 times coming up. Currently in a+e getting ankle x-rayed. Bloody football!

Oh dear, hope its break rather than ligament damage if its bad. Breaks tend to heal better

Cheers guys, doesn't seem to be broken so its the ligaments torn

Yeah i did the other side when i was 16 and it took ages. Although this time i can move it forward and back a tiny bit (but not side to side) whereas that time i couldn't move it or weight bear at all so hopefully can be cycling reasonably soon...now just have to try to not put on a pile of weight before then

Ouch! Hope it just feels worse that it actually is and a speedy recovery

Finally had a go at stage 4 - felt a bit rusty after a bit of a break from Zwift and my HR was strangely high but happy with a time of 41.23.

This Fondo training plan is a nice change of pace. Very tough today and needed a bit of will power to not sit up but after completion it feels like I've achieved something!

Triple Alpe? Wow hats off! Keep your madness!

HR was strangely high

I get a higher HR after several days off

Only just worked out what this is! Blimey! Tell me you had it on 100% difficulty setting and I will be impressed ....

Just finished Stage 4 in 43:40 after a week of little time on the bike and a lot of time in the car, so pretty pleased with that.

Is there an XP advantage in redoing the stage? It seemed that the banners were giving 250XP power ups but I don't recall seeing XP at the end of each km... But then, I wasn't looking *that* closely.

100% -though it felt more like 110% legs are moaning at me now though

 

[Specialeyes]

D'oh! Just noticed the stage name - Level Out, Level Up - so I guess that's a yes to the XP bonus then

Which one was you on when you went past me?

3hrs 20 mins on the turbo all in my SS gearing (50/19). Started off by doing the 3 Sisters route; this let me put in 900 metres of elevation in the first 40km of riding. This was trying to simulate the ToC where most of the elevation will be early on in the ride. I was quite surprised that I could climb the Epic KoM in my SS gear, this just shows how much I've improved this past few months The last climb was the Volcano KoM, where I ended up getting a PB which is not bad given I had been riding for 90 mins already. Then headed over to the desert flats where I did a few loops to get to 100km. Legs not too bad at the end, but seat was getting sore. All this done on 1 1/2 bottles of water with SiS tablet but no food. 3 or 4 of these types of ride a week leading up to ToC should see me hitting good form and (hopefully) losing the final 2-3 kg
