first "race" of the year at the weekend at Wokingham, unfortunately it falls in the middle of a block of training for ironman, and for a variety of reasons I can't afford to miss training to taper, so even getting close to my pb (1:23:49) would make me very happy, realistically 1;25 would be a good result to my mind, anyone else running there?

small frame bag - looking at the rapha one or the apidura one, any recommendations between the two? or something else I should be looking at, more for long ride/credit card touring than epic adventures...

its supposed to be your threshold pace, but personally i'd be amazed if i ever achieved an hour at that pace...

only national champs are bc: that’s not the national distance champs I.e. 10,25,50 etc only “the national champs”

Meanwhile I’m a member of two ctt affiliated clubs and didn’t do a single race with a club member from either last year!

I think alex dowset has been allowed to race as a privateer as he has to race in Pro gear for the team etc, but think this is just in e region and is a special arrangement for him. Surely there is a club that’ll have you (the team i race for velolife.cc certainly would) and you might get a few club mates turn up and have a crack at team prizes?

in my mission to complete 5x5k sub 20 with 5 minutes recovery between intervals, I made an unplanned advance today, session was supposed to be 3x15minutes, but training peaks was under maintenance and I'd forgotten so did 4x15 minutes, admittedly it was a little slower than eventual target pace done at 4:05, 4:06, 4:05 and 4:03, but the next step of 4x5k seems quite within reach...

you say that, but my garage is cold as shit, id love to train in my kitchen where its nice and warm but my wife would straight up murder me if I even thought about bringing a bike into the house!!

I use a an older version of these on the turbo, seem to survive my mega sweat levels so id have thought most people will struggle to break them...
I also built myself a custom iPhone holders /fan mount out of bits of 2x4 and a beaten up old ikea bedside table that means I can use phone a zwift companion/music player and have my fan blowing on my face/chest and control the speed, i'll dig out a picture of the monstrosity..
my Neo is consistently a couple of watts lower than my quarq d zeros looking at average over a longer session (2.5-4 hours), never looked at the shorter ones, I resume this is because of losses in the drive chain between the crank and the rear hub.
I don't let it worry my pretty little head, as there's not a lot going on in there most of the time, but even less after 4 hours on the turbo...
