I was supposed to get permission to use the GoPro, which I did not, so I had to remove it. Hopefully someone else got footage but I don't remember seeing a single camera in the pack. I try again in July.

I finished ahead of two guys. 🥳 Everyone says that on your first race, you're going to 1) get dropped ✅ 2) finish DFL (dead fucking last ❌) I did expect to do better based on my training. But yeah, as soon as I started getting swarmed by riders on lap 1, I realized that I had no clue how to...

If past members are included, Loshak. His whole existence seems very random and I'm intrigued by it. I still occasionally see his Facebook shitposts and there's a strong Andy Kaufman-esque vibe to them. I wanna bathe in Loshak's weirdness for a bit. Good thread.

Who says I didn't already.

I'm also gonna do the arms for my next race.

I'm tired.

A lot of watts. I held 240W over 2 hours which is my personal best. It's also a lot more power than most of my competitors - the winner only had to push 180W 😮. I wonder how much of it is due to equipment (I ride an older alloy bike whereas most guys own newer carbon shiz). I think it's mostly...

I got dropped. 😄 Held on to the front group for 3.5 out of 6 laps then they slowly disappeared. I wasn't hurting or anything - my legs just ran out of juice. Found someone my shape to trade pulls with until the finish. We sprinted for 28th place 😅 Happy to have completed the race. A dozen guys...

Aerodynamics are a big reason, but yes the effect of shaving your legs is not big. It's just one of many aero marginal gains one can achieve for (almost) free. The big one is your riding position, but everything is a factor. I did a few recon laps of the course on Wednesday, I averaged 21mph...

39 riders registered in my category I stalked most of them on Strava to check their power numbers. I'm competitive power-wise but there are faster guys, and many guys with racing experience. Top 10 would be a very satisfying result. :handshake:

It's aero. You fags.

T-1 boys Legs are now hairless LFG

I actually like ebikes. We're going to start carrying them at work and I wanna get myself an e-fat bike. But yeah passing an ebike on my road bike is pretty fun.

Hawks!

😅 Ouch. Very ouch.

Yessir! I'm finishing my last week of intense training, been going really well. Next week will be a "taper week" with only a few moderate intensity workouts. FTP now sits at 310W. Getting excited for it. LFG :letsgo:

Let. Her. Touchyourpenis. :handshake:

Sounds about right.

I gave Gordon Lightfoot an honest try today. Played all his top bangers according to Spotify's stream #s. I'm going to be respectful. :handshake:
