I'm the clear definition of a MAMIL on Zwift.
My goal is to show an avarage category D racer on Zwift trying to win a race (achieved), and eventually getting to category C.
Pushing those watts all year round, to see if that can make me a better zwifter.'
If you have any tips, help or comments on how I can improve as a Zwifter, please let me know as I would be happy to learn.

Zwift | Stage 1 | Pinarello Powered | Rolling Highlands | What a sprint he had on lap one...new HUD!
Motivated MAMIL at it again. This is my second time on the Rolling Highlands course as part of the Pinarello Powered stages, this being stage 1. It was a slow evening and not a lot of participants. One out sprinted me on lap one, and the other dit not bother to help catch the guy again. Hence a nice second place on this one.
This ride features the new HUD from Zwift, which I really like, I did not customize it prior to this race but I will have to do so. I really like the new HUD, espacially the distributed power, the colors, and the expanded info on climbs, so you can see where it gets hard and when you can relax a little again. So good job to Zwift on this one. Let me know what you thin...

Motivated MAMIL discovers the long lost velodrome in Zwift. After a hard race I decided to try out the new Rebel Route: Summit City Velodrome in Watopia. It was flat and fun to try it out, most likely the easiest of all rebel routes. Seems like the Strava segment is a little off, as it calculated my avarage speed to be 89,3 km/h. But hey.....I'll take that any day. Any tips or help on how to be...

I did this ride earlier this week. The course really is rolling! If you're not going down, you're going up. It was a hell of a tough race! Well done for your effort.
@@thatberkshirecyclist thank you, and you too. It's a love and hate relationship with this course, because I think it's really fun, but it'll kill you slowly. 👍🌞💪😎
😂 what are the chances of just click on this video and there I was in the video. 😅
@@hbmedia4381 Nice. Did you pass me or did I pass you?💪
@@WattsHartvig I passed u at the beginning. Because I was doing a workout.
@@hbmedia4381 Ahhhh ok. And I agree, what are the odds 😎🌞
My condolences for the loss of your mom.
@@johnstypa8974 Thank you.
Good one!
Thanks. 👍😎
Jeg kan se du havde samme oplevelse som mig.... Ren overlevelse de sidste mange kilometer😂😰 jeg optog også min og den kan ses her ruclips.net/video/aYaSCNwPIYc/видео.htmlsi=kXsMyajQ4KBCys-w
Jeps, den var squ tough den stigning. Imponerende hvordan de professionelle klarede det :-)
What i dont understand about zwift is, how does it make your mike automaticially harder when you are on a mountain, or something like that? Do i have to do this stuff manually or is it automated? I really need to know before buying, please help.
@@patrickb.2441 the trick is to be on a smart trainer. This smart trainer replaces your rear wheel, and is then controlled by zwift. Which means when you climb more resistance are added on the trainer, which makes you have to work harder to get up the hill. You adjust this in many ways but you still have to produce the same watts to get up the hill as you would in real life. If you ask me it feels pretty natural, at least for me, and this motivates me, because the I don't have to travel to France to ride Alpe d'huez, I can just do it when I feel like it in my shed. 😀👍 Oh and by mike I hope you mean bike. Otherwise my comment is totally off. 😀
2nd place is a cheater nowey a 25kg person does 4w/kg
Maybe...maybe not. According to zwiftpower its a junior rider, so the numbers may be ok. But I remember being puzzled by this as well to start with. I guess this is where the new racing score system will help going forward. 👍😎💪
Me and you are in a similar place, I can just about hold onto the front group but cannot contest the sprint. Still a lot of fun! Good race well done
@@fraserp2377 Thank you. Its all about improving from here. I will try to spice racing up with some zone 2 training and some VO2 max training. Hopefully that will increase my racing score going forward. 👍😎💪
Hey, nice Job, i‘m new at. Zwift, can you maybe Tell me How to find „the grade“ ? I really don’t know where it is
The course "Oh Hill no" and the "Elevation evaluation" in watopia both leads to the grade. I'm unsure if you need to be at a certain level to see them though. 👍💪🌞
Great ride. I thought you’d pull in the last two at the end.
@@doogie64 Thank you. I wish I had. 👍💪😎
Super indsats, Henrik. Det er hårdt arbejde, men godt for benerne :) Hvis du skal prøve den igen, så vil jeg anbefale at smække en letvægtscykel på. Tron er ok, men hvis du bruger lettere cykel/hjulsæt, vil det i sig selv kappe nogle sekunder af. Jeg kan også se, at dit watt-gennemsnit gik lidt ned på anden halvdel. Det er selvfølgelig forskelligt, hvordan man kan lide at pace bakkerne, men det her er én af dem, hvor jeg tror det er godt at køre efter negativ split, så man har mere i reserve, når bakken bliver stejlere til sidst. Det kan man også hente en del sekunder på, tror jeg. Jeg har selv lagt en video op med mit første forsøg på Grade, hvis du kan bruge det til inspiration. Ses derude!
Takker. Synes det er svært at pace bakkerne. Men det er helt sikkert en mental ting som man kan arbejde med. Men tænker det er et spørgsmål om at være i god form. Min erfaring indtil nu er at jeg ikke har det ekstra overskud selv om jeg holder igen i starten. Men nu hvor man kender stigningen, så kan det være at det er nemmere. Tak for tippet med cyklen, det vil jeg prøve. Jeg tjekker din video ud senere. 👍 Vi ses derude. 💪😎
Well done great video amazing 😊
Thanks a lot. 😎
1818😊
Well done. I need to loose a lot of weight to beat that time. 👍💪😎
@WattsHartvig myself too I am on a weight loss journey 19stone 12pounds 5ft 10in. Male no longer eating red meat by the weekend.
@@dewidavies7995 Well done. Way to go. 💪
3:00 PM on Monday, June 24, 2024 # 396 OA Zwift - # 9 Oh Hill No in Watopia Your PR 24:06 27 /131 < mens age div 65-69 I have done it now 11 times . I would ask you what is your age ? HR seems very very high , I'M around 75 to 80 % HR AVG Im not going all out for my 24 mins .Im 67 HR for my ride was 124 which was 81% of my max .
The ride was done approx 1 1/2 hour after having dinner in the evening. It was pretty hot and unplanned. And I was going all out at the last bit of the climb. My age is 47. Generally my HR is in the higher end during races or events like this. I'm amazed that you can keep your HR at 81% in a climb like this. Just show that I need to get in better shape maybe. Well done. 💪👍😎
@@WattsHartvig Thanks for responding back. I have used a HRM since 1987 and over the years my body sticks around 80% . Two Ironman champions few weeks back both had open heart surgeries and are few years older than me . And both trained long and hard , which that is 4 former Ironman triathlon champions who have had open heart surgery . The HR formula I have used came from Dr Phil Maffetone . Take 180 minus 47 = 133 = 80% take another 10 =123 = 70% . Plus Girlfriend is a 30+ yrs as a cardio othro rehab RN . See's all of the local athletes get struck down . " Fine line between fitness and health " Dr Phillip Maffetone . If you want to be doing this 20yrs from now like me , slow down the HR to 133 to 123 . 37 yrs training smart , not hard , train to last , not to go fast.
Every one suffers bon this climb, Super effort, I'm always in awe how you can ride seated, I have to stand to be at my best. 💪💪👍👍
Thanks a lot. I don't know if it's a physical thing being seated versus standing or if it tracks back to me riding more mountainbike than road bike. I feel that I can push more watts seated, where my cadance is really low when standing, and grinding those big gears tires le out. But I guess its a thing you can train and get better at. 💪👍😎🚴
Good that you pushed through it and thank you for this video. I was planning to do this in the next few days, so now I know what to expect to pace myself better.
Thanks a lot. Go for it, I'm sure you can do it and beat my time. 💪👍😎
@@WattsHartvig Ha-ha... yes from what I can see we seem to be similar in fitness so yes, need to beat 21:54 and 208 grade with a lower finishing heart rate than 177! Just kidding... 😁
Nice work! I have done it twice and its not easy for sure!
Nice. Well done. I'm still waiting for my next try. 💪👍
I think this definitely requires you to get into a rhythm and just keep going at a manageable wattage. We don’t know if you had already warmed up also.
Yup. I'm just afraid that the average will be too low if I start at a managed pace. I did mention in the video that I did 7 km warm........I actually did 8 km before doing this. 💪👍😎
Valiant effort. Just keep trying. You stayed in the front pack for the majority of the race. Next time don't push so hard to be in the front of the race, so you have energy left in the end when it turns spicy
You are right. I had an opposite race this Saturday where I felt like I had to push on the hills to see if I could shake some riders from the frontgroup. So spot on, its a fine line between when to preserve your strength and when to try push. 💪👍😎
As swiss i do not understand the fuss about this. Its neither steep nor long 😂😂 just go up to your abilities and its over very quickly.
😂 It's flat as a pancake where I live. So the climbs in Zwift actually provides a bit of fun for me, even though it might not look like that on the video. 😎
@@WattsHartvigyeah it surely did not 🤣
@@WattsHartvig hey you should go cycling in switzerland once. before i go riding i need to decide whether i want to go up the mountains, along lakes, through forests, speeding on the road, or a combination of those things. all accessible in less than 20 minutes. when i think about it, its quite spectacular. you would like it.
WELL DONE MATE. LOOK TOUGH, BUT YOU DID IT 😂
Thanks. 👍
managed it in 20.11 . Happy as I am a chubby 103kg 50 year old who did a 45 miler the day before . Will do it again with fresh legs as I enjoyed it
Nice. That's my next goal. 💪20.11
Blew myself up on the first try vecause i forgot to yse the virtual shifter. Trying again tomorrow
You need the gears man. 😎 Couldn't do it without them. Unless you put your trainer difficulty on 0% I guess. 👍 Have a great second try. 💪
Amazing work and you sound like me. Only a few more sections.. Just sub and happy training
Thanks. You have to motivate yourself somehow when you are about to blow up. 😂👍😎
That doesn't look fun at all. I will have to try it today or tomorrow though. I will have to see if I can beat your time but that looks like a solid effort.
I'm sure you can. Go for it. I came in totally unprepared. Just suppress the feeling of stopping that you get 1/3 up the climb. 💪👍 😉
@@WattsHartvig Just finished the climb. I finished in 16:01. I should put my 34 tooth cassette on my trainer for that. That was brutal.
@@Joshua-dx7zn wow great job. You rocked it. I need to loose some weight before I can beat that time. 💪 Well done. 👍
@@WattsHartvig I'm 135lbs and more of a climber so I kind of have an advantage. Still came in 38th of the people around me. I did run 2 miles this morning so that probably didn't help.
Solid effort! Great job
Thanks 👍
Great effort 👌. I did it myself and blew up the first time and a little better the second time. It takes a bit of getting used to.
Yep. I almost blew up myself as well. I will plan it a little better next time. 👍😎
I'd do it again, only this time pace yourself, as AW65 said.
Will do. 👍
You did well to hold on until the end there and your average power did not drop too badly. But my bit of advice would be this: when doing any maximal effort,for example a time trial ,you should set a deliberately easier pace at the start,for at least the first quarter. I’m sure you realize now you went off too hard at the start. I would be pretty confident if you do it again and you start easier, say at 215w W for the first few minutes, your FTP will end up higher
Yep, we all learn that the hard way.
Thank you. You are absolutely right. I had no real plan but just to take a stab at it. Now I know the climb and I will follow your advice next time and see if that can improve things. 👍
Good effort 💪👍
Thank you 👍😎
Super punchy course! These are super fun but super tough for me as a lighter rider😢
Yep. May I recommend the Mayan San Remo couse. You would do great there. 👍💪
Loved the stage! It was more suited for punchy climbers but it was a fun one👍🏼
Indeed. Tried it twice now. Man its a hard one for me. 👍
Nice strong finish! Tough course to be sure…
Indeed and thank you. Thought I had a shot at catching the rider in front of me at the end.........but I didn't 😀😎👍 So maybe I should just have relaxed a little bit more. 🤘😂
Fantastic video! Welldone.
Thanks a lot. Making the video was not as hard as the actual climb though. 😂👍
That last kilometer is brutal!
Indeed. But at least one other rider suffered more than me. 😉
Fenomenal Job!! The power graph was mostly orange and red!💪
Thank you. Not my favourite colors in Zwift because then you know that it eventually will hurt 💪. But I managed to get through it and then only relax a little bit on the last lap. 🚴😎👍
Congrats Mr Hartvig! 🎉 Strong performance sir. First win of many now.. 💪✅🙌
Thank you Ryan. And right back at you. Hope you will find time for some zwifting between all the running and IRL races. 🤘👍😎
Nice 🎉 Strong Finnish Well Done Buddy 💪💪
Thanks 👍
Close to podium again! 💪
That looked like it hurt! Fenomenal effort!!
Not as much as going up the Alpe. But a little pain is always good. Thanks. 👍
Next time will be podium 💪
Thanks. I hope so. 👍😀
Good effort on hanging in there for as long as you did! One tip, if I may, would be to hit the punchy climbs with some speed. The momentum makes the climb easier. Also great job on powering over the crest of the hill, that is a mistake I would always make.
You are absolutely right. Its the repetition of the punchy climbs that gets you in the end. So I'm basically hiding them with more speed to at the start of the race, and then I blow up near the end. But I just have to keep going at it. Thanks for your advice. 👍
Really good time on the race. Keep up the great work!💪
Thank you. Will do 😎
Great race. Good attacks and spectacular finale 👍🏼
Thanks a lot 👍
thank you for recording!
You are welcome. Hope you enjoyed it. 👍
Nice finish!!
😀 Thanks..... I guess. 👍
@@WattsHartvig you maintained a good position in that race. you did quite well! how long have you been doing zwift racing? Keep working hard!
Thanks. I have been on Zwift for 2 years. But I have only been seriously about racing for the last 6 months or so. Right now I'm trying a combination of racing and zone 2 training to improve. 🤘👍🚴
