But during my struggle, I did accumulate my second highest ever 5 minute power rating on Zwift and took 6th spot on the KOM, before being passed on the descent. I missed being in the battle for the top 5 by the finest of margins, again showing the huge progress I have made since training has commenced.ĭuring the final climb on Box Hill, I was with the final group of 10 riders and the pace crept above what I could sustain, putting me into the “red zone” which resulted in me slipping from the battle for the top spots. In 56km of racing, there was plenty of “on-off” explosive riding and I was delighted with my 8th place finish because the hard truth is, that is the probably the level I am at, at the moment. I fared much better the following day with a 56km hard race around London that took in Leith Hill and Box Hill. Although it was a respectable time of 16:38, finishing outside the top 10 was not in the plan.ĭespite my disappointment, it’s without doubt that had I not spent the last 4 weeks doing weekly intense intervals sessions that had elements of explosive power required, I would have finished further down the field. The “on-off” explosive nature of the TT, certainly did not suit my style of riding and in the last kilometre I lost a couple more places and finished in 13th. I opted for these wheels thinking that I would need their advantage on the descents, but the reality was, I would have been better with some more all-around wheels and to push harder on the climbs to build an advantage.įurthermore, I was not familiar with the climbs, so didn’t over exert myself on the short efforts and on the punchy climb mid-way along the route, I had several riders bridge a nice gap I had built, with one rider coming from 12 seconds back. The issue I experienced was due to the undulation of the course, when I hit the climbs, it felt like I started going backwards. The TT was a mass start event, no drafting, on TT bikes, where the only variable was the wheel choice. I was confident of a good result, but lack of course knowledge and the wrong wheel choice cost me a top 10 finish. Friday’s TT was on the “ Tour of Tewit Well” route.

This brought me into the final 3 days of the Flamme Rouge Racing series feeling primed, which I had discussed with Matt as being the target. I did go rogue from the plan to sample Neokyo’s new routes and collect a badge, just to give myself a taster of what I have to look forward to in the future. Wednesday was penciled in for an easy ride, so I joined a group ride and got towed around Watopia, and Thursday’s rest day or easy ride was completed by joining the “Roll with Castelli” ride. I’ve mentioned this on numerous occasions, but when you ride consistently on Zwift, you will find yourself replacing components at a fast rate. This led me to the conclusion that the large chainring needed replacing, a subsequent one was ordered and another bike was fitted to the trainer, to keep me Zwifting. The new chain that I had installed to replace the one that caused me problems in Sunday’s race continued slipping. I did attempt an evening ride, but the session came to an unexpected end as once again, I suffered chain issues. Overall, I did a good job with perhaps two lapses of concentration causing my data to spike, but for the most part, it was consistent. The session was called “Drift Test” because literally, if you didn’t concentrate, your power would drift. I found my eyes glued to the wattage in the centre of the screen. It was a challenge to find the zone and hold it for 30 minutes. It was difficult because too much effort and you were pushing wattage way in excess of the requirement, too little effort and you were then falling behind. This was all about finding your rhythm and being consistent, which sounds easier than it was. A quick 3-minute rest then led into the main event of 30 minutes at 285 watts. The interval session consisted of a 10-minute warm-up where the pace steadily increased until the last minute’s interval saw me pushing 345 watts.
