The Mrs is away this weekend so if I can get home and stay awake I might do the 7pm race tonight.
My Friday nights have changed somewhat.

glorious rest Oj !!
I would be doing the 7pm race but I had decided to do tomorrows GOAT and cannot swapsie now, I didn't realise it was 2 laps, but I'm still going to have a bash.

Iron Goat is tough!
I think tonight's ride will be hard work. Tired after swim/run dodging "killer jellyfish"

That was one of the most ridiculous 45 minutes I've spent on a bike.
Trying to work out what the hell was going on in the race, while blowing out my arse before realising that my turbo wasn't working properly.
It was like it was stuck in erg mode. Changing gear doing virtually nothing. I was going up the climbs in a huge gear.
I still don't quite know what happened in the race although it's telling me my ftp is now 330. Not sure I believe that.

Those Friday races I think are VERY popular !
your overall time suggests you did quite well

Nice work !! I do like how your race results are all stored on that site, encourages you to race more often.my weight is 74.7 , a little wiggle room, mabie 73, not that I'm actively dieting
if you want me to email you the kona report, PM me your addy steve
I guess 11th is alright for a first attempt.
One thing I don't get - my average w/kg was the 2nd highest but I finished way down. Given that I didnt spend that much time on the front, I don't get why.
There were also loads of times when I was on the wheel and it was telling me to catch up. I couldn't work out why!
What am I missing?

I don't really know how the drafting works. I seem to be dropping off the back or in front whenever I've tried to race as opposed to do steady rides.

Thanks - I already downloaded it earlier. I've only had chance to quickly glance through so far.
If only Joe Skipper could get his swim up to speed I suspect he could be a real challenger with his bike and run.
Did I ever tell you fellas that Skipper goes out with a friend of the Mrs? I had a beer with him earlier in the year without realising who he was.
