Glad to be of service, Demon Hunter!

Thanks. Not a great route for me. Bad knees and short cranks mean my RPMs have to be high.

Thanks! Took a bit of effort, and a late powerup.

Yeah, I’m not fit enough to stay with the pack for all four races at the moment. Getting there!

Thanks! I paid for it afterwards. These racing score events are about half way between D and C, which seems about right.

Maybe on the comeback

This is Zwift!

Yep. That’s what this video is.

Ha. Yes. That’s because I’m ‘following’ you, Duncan. It adds a blue glow then, I think.

@@michaelnelson1089 ahhhhh . I did disappear towards the back again, fitness beginning to return, slowly.

Z racing app predicted you to win! I’m getting some fitness back too, slowly!

yes, all my race ranking scores are 3 months out of date. 3 weeks in hospital, 6 weeks not weight bearing on one leg and still using crutches to help walk has reduced my power and increased my weight. 😁

But back enjoying racing, next mission is to not get dropped in next couple of weeks and hopefully lose a kg or two.

I saw you coming and I thought you had me too! Was a good competitive race.

@@michaelnelson1089 I left it just a second to late I love the score rating races they are so close

Agreed. They are super close and I barely have any sprint left in me, which is a good thing.

Still good exercise!

Kind of ... bit more complicated than that, but yes it's amazing. Check out Zwift.

No worries! Sorry I couldn’t hang on til the end to give you an idea of the sprint! Enjoy the ride tomorrow.

Thanks, it was tough!

Thanks?

Didn’t have time to finish the race, and wanted to push myself. But then I was toast. My plan was to DNF from the beginning. It’s good exercise!

lol

Two spins in five minutes!

@@michaelnelson1089 ooooh ok.

Yeah, I got luck on my first spin in Stage 3. Sorry! Good luck. I must admit, I like it and have been using it ever since.

Fair enough! Scott certainly got the better of me today. I think my sweet spot is 30-40 minutes. Not one hour. Try to enjoy it when you do it!

I doubt being sick had much impact. Probably an excuse. I reckon it’s more lack of fitness on the long rides. We will have to wait and see what happens with the series!

Thanks!

Ha. No. I have arthritic knees and need to reduce resistance. I’ll take that as a compliment. I also increase rpm on climbs for the same reason. Feel free to look at all my other rides for similar rpm. I aim for 90+rpm on flats, and higher on climbs. I also find that mid-foot cleats reduce the load on my knees.

@@michaelnelson1089 It was impressive...Never seen someone hold that speed...Good Job!

Wow, I can only dream of going that fast up hills. Nice job with the 20m PB. I certainly didn't! I better lose some weight.

No worries. It was a bit painful, but fortunately not too long. Have fun tomorrow.

Thanks! Unfortunately only good enough for second!

Oh wait ... you probably meant the winner. Ha! Yes, that was an impressive sustained sprint!

Hey Tim! Yes I recognise your name and remember you. Wow you did all three zones! Not really an option where I am - zone 2 is 2am! See you sometime in the future.

@@michaelnelson1089 , yeah, it was 3am, 9am and 3pm here in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA. Just enough time to nap and refuel between zones. Tough day, but loads of fun!

You are hard core. You’re the second zwifter this week to tell me about middle of the night zwifting. You’re more committed than I am, and I thought I was pretty committed!

I tried so hard and had nothing to show for it. You guys dropped me like a hot potato.

Thanks ... unfortunately 267w doesn't do much when you're over 100kg! I'm just impressed someone watched to the end!

Thanks! Nah ... I either have to get a bit skinnier, or get fitter. Both are difficult.

Bad knees = high cadence better. Nice work on the 300w average ... envious!

@@michaelnelson1089 nice, keep it up. No doubt I'm a little bigger boned than you 95.7kg, but that's coming down slowly.
