I’m not sure I understand why you’d need to wear more than bib shorts, socks and shoes for Zwifting…

I Zwift in our living room with family and the boys girlfriends in and out so anything that hides my moobs is all good😁

9pm, it’s being shown on Channel 4 if you don’t have Amazon Prime.

I’m thinking of crossing off one of the medium-length Watopia routes, perhaps Big Foot Hills? Of course, the match might be over well before I’m finished!
Aw shucks, it’s not available on All4, so I can’t watch it except on t’telly. Guess I’ll have to save my long ride for another time!

They like all sitting round and having bets how many times his knee clicks - better than X factor
You sir, are easily pleased 😁

Anyone doing Zwift Academy? I am not but I am dipping into the rides every now and again .Be warned that workout 2 Peak V02 max is a toughie. It’s one of those cumulative fatigue workouts that bites hard, as intended, near the end.

Did anyone watch the tennis? I watched it with Wendy and the standard of tennis was amazing.
Yeah, I didn’t get to bed until just before midnight, so I couldn’t face a 5am Zwift today (my boys get up at 6am so I have to do it earlier than that, or in the evening).
The match was very exciting - I thought Fernandez was a worthy finalist and they both played some lovely shots. I almost wouldn’t have minded if it had had to go to three sets, I was enjoying it that much!

Took part in my first Duathlon yesterday, the Sri Chinmoy GO TRI event at Tockington School in South Gloucestershire.

It was a 2K run, 15K Bike, 2K Run edition with the run being 3 laps of the school rugby pitches before heading out on the quiet lanes to Pilning & back.

Due to covid the run started with each competitor lining up and going at 10 second intervals, due to my lack of previous time I started towards the back of the field.
The first run was okay with me running it at a pace of 5:27min /km, the first transistion was interesting, taking off the trainers whilst remembering to undo the laces, and then running across part of the field in your cleats to the bike mount line, where I slipped trying to get my cleats into the pedals.
The bike leg was on lanes I know well and is fairly flat with the exception of a couple of bridges crossing the motorways. I managed to pass quite a few other competitors during the bike section which was encouraging although my speed was slower than I expected !
The final transition was okay but I have to say I struggled on the final run, running it at a pace of 5:38min /km.

My provisional time is 50:59 which I'm pleased with for a first attempt and must say I'm looking forward to the next event.

Here is the Strava pic of the bike leg...

Yeah but as it was a decathlon, we want to hear about how the javelin and the 110 metre hurdles went ;)

Seriously though - well done! I did a Duathlon a couple of years ago and would be up for doing one again - I've actually considered doing that one you did actually as it's in my neck of the woods too. The one I did was a DB Max event at Castle Combe race track. Glad you enjoyed it :okay:
