Zwift? Your guess is a good as mine. I could not find anything on Zwift Insider. I was happy to get the wheel set. I am 45% up Mount Everest.
Yeah I use the glowing Tron bike most of the time. If doing an event up AdZ or something - i'll select lightweight stuff. I actually configure the Cadex TT bike with disc wheel setup fairly regularly since I like to go for some of the flat segments in the ~10 or more minute range, where it makes a difference.

Jim (ERO guy) has come down to the San Diego velodrome a few times to setup some local riders/racers/teammates in TT positions. I'm considering it. I think I'd want to get a new bike first (rim brake - Giant Trinity) before taking a more focused dive on improving my TT. But, I'm probably 2-3 seasons away from having the funds and being in a good spot to focus on that. I do look forward to having a dedicated push in improving my TT in the coming seasons. There are events every year that I get excited about featuring a TT - VoS, SCNCA district ITT/TTT champs, and our own local series.

Dr said my heart sounds were fine, just going really fast.
That's pretty crazy. My heart rate never did anything other than just get up high for a brief moment during the hardest efforts in the race, but quickly came back down as expected.

Easy endurance spin for an hour. Just enough to move the legs around and it felt amazing. Cannot wait to see where this next block of higher intensity takes me...

I have a pre-rio iO and a FFWD 5-spoke. I have set all my F200 PRs on the iO.

That said, I now run different tires on them - with heavier duty road racing tires on the FFWD for use at non-major events, since all my tracks are outdoors, and the concrete can tear up Pista Speeds pretty quickly.

50' of O/U 2' @ 360w, 8' @ 290w, back to back to back, with another hour of endurance.

My 20/30/60/90 min power are all at record levels over the last two weeks, though I'm still seeing lower HR vs power at the moment. My RHR is also down about 5 bpm, which is within 1 bpm of all time low. Not sure what to make of it. My coach thinks the racing and lots of effort over vo2 max may have improved cardiac output a bit. I'm sure temporary if so. I guess we will see.

I sure wish I could get to 70kg at this power level haha.

Zwift "Big Spin" ride again this morning. Got the earphones this time.

Did it on my IRL TT bike with zero resistance so I could get some time in position. My club has their next TT in about a month so I will try to ride my TT bike twice per week until then, one of them being outdoors and harder, other indoors and light. I missed the first one since it was too close to my hernia surgery.

Almost stole the kom competition from the local pro that lives in the Umstead gravel. Not literally but figuratively. It’s a fun thing a local team puts on but since there are no groups of riders it’s always a forgone conclusion going to the couple of local pros.

But to give him a scare at the kom on the last day was worth it. From a cat 4 rider at that. Lol.
