We go Tuesday at 5PM and Wednesday at 8AM- usually ride In the morning and take it easy on Wednesday. 2 days a week is enough for me
I can only stand about 90 minutes. Supposed to do 2 hours of SS work today but don’t know if I’ll have time. Tomorrow looks good enough to go outside in the afternoon though. question for the mechanic savvy… my new shimano chain is 2 links shorter than what’s on the bike now, am I screwed? |

I did sign up for intervals.icu, but I'm not sure what to make of the data. Is this atypical?

How was it? I ended up averaging about 70% of FTP for 2 hours, so that’s Z2 but there was plenty of harder efforts involved. I still got dropped by my friends. It used to bug me that I would not be able to stay with riders who I have no trouble staying with or even dropping IRL, but I now look at Zwift as a video game to keep my fitness up and am not a serious Zwifter. It makes it much more tolerable.

You do not recall correctly. To the contrary, I feel too stretched out reaching the hoods.
I leave Knoxville every time I go home from work, etc. Is that what you do? Civil engineer? |

You should worry about your suspect bike-fitting skills.

I'd be interested to see a histogram of numbers of bikes of each size. It seems like there are WAY MORE 56s and 54s than 58s. Sometimes it seems like there are more 60s than 58s, but I doubt this is true. OTOH, the paucity of 58s is probably a good thing for my wallet. And marriage.

I did Z2-3 for 2.5 hrs in a steadily shrinking bunch off the front of a big group ride. We held a nice steady pace and shared the work. It wasn’t too bad. I had good music and leered at the female avatars. Now my legs are nice and dead and I’ll have Raynauds for hours.

Im hoping I didn’t waste a chain, I’m guessing it’ll be fine. |

You can always add links back with the little pins if you over-shortened it.

It's really amazing, when they come right off the track, just how much they are nothing but muscle and bone, and enough skin to cover it if stretched taut. In fact they have so little extra skin that their eyes often don't close when they sleep, which is real damn creepy sometimes. EDIT: One vet tried to tell me he was overweight, because he was taught to base that on their loins. But Greyhounds tend to have much more muscular loins because they have long, flexible spines and they use those muscles A LOT in running. |
