Todd's already out on course... throwing down some hill climb. Be warned. :) I've taken a solid shot at this climb a couple times and it is deceptively long. There is a little flat spot where, if you don't stay on the watts, your ETA will drop off.

Done! Wanted to get this one out of the way early... so went for an early posting. Give everyone something to shoot at!

You did it four times, and all four times will be faster than me. :)

I think I can maybe manage 4:00. I don't know if its easier to switch off ERG mode on the trainer because it'll lessen the resistance for the flat part which makes it harder to keep the power up. Probably going to do it tomorrow, pretty sure I wrecked my legs already today.

What trainer do you have Giles?

Kickr. I got it for zwift and gave away my cycleops magnetic one that I didn't like

I'm bad at math... the email I just sent says 12 hours, but it's actually 18 hours at this point until the end of stage 3. :)

In the books, it was a PR but hoping for more, who isn't?

I know right? Us silly cyclists and our data. It is never enough... :)

Done! It's ~3 hours later and my legs still hate me. No doubt, some of the most fun I've had on the trainer.

I'm aiming for 6pm pacific. Do we have to weigh ourselves immediately before? :)

Boot and rally Giles.... boot and rally.

That's what I forgot to do before my run! I didn't do a weigh in...

I have my weight set to 170 in Zwift... I've never changed it. I think I'm 171 right now, so I am totally cheating. Just FYI GUYS!

Some quick math says I need 500W for 3:48 to beat Todd. Er. Yeah.
