Zwift Chat

[Whorty]

I was placed first at the start (i.e. I started in front of everyone) and looking at video it had me a second behind the bunch whenever I was in it. That's disappointing if that is a bit of an issue with the meet up feature.

I defo don't think there was a second between us but that doesn't mean I won, I know zwift can show different things, and @Whorty timed his sprint perfectly.

Regardless on the hilly stage I'll bleed minutes so it doesn't really matter 🤣

Cheers for setting it up @bridgy and @Aleman for the video

I shouted out a few choice words as I crossed the line as it looked to me as you crossed first I was just coming around you but you held me off so about half a bike length to you I think

 

[Whorty]

Yeh thanks for the organisation 👍
Glad that one’s out the way , was panicking that I would miss a break and see you all disappear up the road - no way was I gonna contend the sprint !

Yeah, with you there I think I chased after every single break, just in case

Good job guys! Very nice of everyone to let @Whorty win Thanks @bridgy for organising again and @Aleman for the stream that I will gladly watch in a few minutes

Not sure what happened to me - everything worked fine and then the whole software crashed and kicked me to desktop.

I really wanted to do some racing so ended in a different event which was quite enjoyable. Think I did a good job at drafting this time around.

Happy for you to take the win (especially if your girlfriend was watching!).

You'll have to move up to B though surely?

You know what ... bloody girlfriend was watching it, then about 5 mins from end apparently she had to go and sort something out in garden (herons been taking her sister's prize koi carp) .... she messaged me after the race and asked who won!!!! FFS, biggest (almost) victory ever, and she's buggering about with fish And you were all so kind to let me (almost) win too

See above ... she missed the finish

As for B ... erm .... I'll think about that

I did wonder where you'd gone ... I saw you at the start then didn't see you in the race. That's sh*t luck on a course like that where you'd have been able to ride with everyone for the first lap or so.

Last week my HR was racing all night. Unbeknown, wife was getting me one of those sporty watches.

Sat here its saying, you are well and truly knackered tonight. Stress levels popping up repeatedly. HR is coming down now into the 60s . My resting HR is 40bpm these days.

My physical energy bank has been smashed from tonights event.

Interested to see if I fully recover after a good night's sleep

It is a joke really. Why can’t zwift get this stuff sorted… @BurningLegs it's an option isn’t it. It means we’re at the mercy of the race scheduling though. I guess overall positions in the league wont be decided by the odd second. Just a tad annoying to say the least.

 

[CXRAndy]

Make of this what you will
Isnt that weird. We had to put down one of our little pets just before lunchtime. The watch has recorded stress levels around that period

 

[bridgy]

Well done guys that was fun! Turns out all those attacks from me to soften you up ended up softening me up the most!

Looking forward to the mountain stage next week....😬

 

[BurningLegs]

Is it a whoop @CXRAndy ? Sorry to hear about your pet 😢

Didn't do me much good either .. a few times I was right on my limit, but thankfully there were rests between attacks else I could have been dropped.

Thanks for organising. Slightly biased I know, but really enjoyed that with most riders staying together, felt really 'teamy'. I had a good workout too, chasing you buggers every time you went off the front

Paul, did you lower your height?
Oh and thanks for organising- appreciated.

I was watching general positioning, and Michael played a clever hand, holding back sat at the back. Carl was bouncing all over the place, as was Bob.
