Ok, I’ll be racing with the Huskies this afternoon.

I sent a note to Joel. If I don't hear from him by mid-day tomorrow, I'll check in with @RojoRacing about ATP (yes, I'm B-cat).

I responded to the poll on Tuesday, but didn't get assigned to a team. I guess I was a little late. Oh well, next week.

I got my Week 5 in just in time today. I had shifted my TT day to Tuesday, but I wasn't feeling motivated on Tuesday, then life got busy (work, birthday, anniversary). I tried the negative split approach that @ccooper recommended, taking the first half out at a target power equal to the average...

I started using a mid-foot cleat position to deal with hotfoot. It definitely helped. Can’t say one way or the other how it affects performance. But not having hotfoot definitely improves performance.

Can you post a photo of the camera mounted under the bike?

Interesting how much your front wheel moves when mashing. The two passes on the shoulder definitely got me squirming in my chair.

The contacts have concentric rings. One set of rings is for distance focus, and the other set is for near focus. Your retina and brain somehow figure out how to make sense of it. There is a small loss of clarity, but not enough to be a problem.

I agree. I stopped pedaling right at the bus stop and see no evidence of my power dropping at the end of the segment data.

I’ve been using multi-focal contact lenses. I can see my bike computer and road signs without having to lower my chin, which I have to do with transition lenses. And with the contacts I get to sport a pair of Oakleys.

So if we enter Zwift by selecting Tempus Fugit, do we need to change direction at any point to ride the Fuego du Lollipop segment?

Oh, C'mon. I'm been thinking my 145mm cranks and hummingbird heart will win me some awards. ;-)

Should weight include shoes and helmet (even though no helmet on Zwift)?

Thanks for allowing Zwift. The answer to your question "why [can't] someone can't go outside at least once a week and ride 12-miles?" is safety. On Sunday I did my first ride outdoors in two months. I hit a pothole wider than the width of the laptop I'm typing this on at 33 mph and cracked my...

I got the free Xert account and uploaded 3 months of Strava data, which included a FTP ramp test on Zwift at the end of January. For the January test I got a 7 watt demotion over last year. And the Xert analytics gave me an additional 15 watt demotion. Ugh! But it's probably about right given...

XertOnline test protocol specifies a "maximal effort" and "4 or 5 peak power sprints". Whether or not you get a maximal effort in the TTT depends on your strength relative to the team and the number of team members. And there's typically just one sprint at the end. So does that mean you have to...

Nice riding with you @ratz . For the others watching this thread, it works as advertised.

I'm interested in group training. Don't have Trainer Road, but could get it. 1700 miles is a long way to go for a race, especially if driving is necessary because air travel is risky. But I'm planning to go back to the 6-12-24 WTTC in Borrego Springs. Some chance that race might not happen, too...
