 292   , Massachusetts |  Subject: RE: Consistency Equals Success - CLOSEDMitch I got Zwift up and running last night but I had some issues selecting the correct trainer info so it wasn't working properly. I found some info on the website today so hopefully I can get it all sorted tomorrow. I was able to ride around a little bit, albeit at a pretty slow pace/power, and it was pretty cool. Looking forward to getting it up and running correctly. |

Expert 1109 Guatemala | Subject: RE: Consistency Equals Success - CLOSED Hello and hope everyone is doing great! I was missing in action due to an intense week at work and a couple of boards I participate in, but finally updating my totals. I got to try Zwift today for the 2nd time for a 2hr ride and I agree with Joe, it is kind of addictive and it is funny how it pushes that little competitor we all have inside. Getting ready to fly tomorrow to Brussels for the Global Seafood show and then on to Germany to run the Dusseldorf Marathon next Sunday the 26. It will be interesting to see how I do after having social events every night in Brussels and also being undertrained (but I have gotten some surprises in the past two races, so you never know :-) Joe 17 22:56 |

Gabe - make sure you sync your Zwift account with Your Strava account. Much more fun to see your PRs and how you stack up with the rest of your friends and the world. There's and option somewhere in settings to link your accounts and then when you end a ride it asks if you want to save to Strava. For any interested parties, I'll probably be on Zwift around 9:00 ET tonight. Intention is not to ride hard but we'll see. Edited by trisuppo 2015-04-19 10:17 AM |

I was the opposite...surprised at the short power I could generate tonight. PRs on the sprint and climbs. Good riding with you. Did you see my texts? I've been using the smartphone app and it helps a bit. I was in my own world the first time you flew by me. Was thinking to myself that guy is going for the polka dot jersey. Inspired me to work a bit more. Then I passed you and about half a lap later I finally realized that it was DaveL...LOL. The Canadian flag should have been a bigger hint for me!

Master 1609 Gold Coast Australia. | Subject: RE: Consistency Equals Success - CLOSED Adding 9hrs of my first real 50k trail ultra on Sunday. I had a blast and will make it a regular yearly event. Seems very slow, I know, but so is climbing Everest. This was all about mountains up and down and sideways. After 7hrs I was done, started swearing, wanted to cheat or just plain quit. Somehow managed to endure and kept going finishing in pouring rain, but running through the chute. About 30 competitors only, 4 of them still behind me. Great experience!

I've had similar issue for a month now and finally took some antibiotics, the doctor said I was crazy to do an ultra being sick. What does he know? Edited by markz 2015-04-20 5:28 AM |

When I send a group text I see it in the screen. I dint think I ever saw my private text. It will be nice at some point if they get voice communication through the mic on your earbuds. |

How do you calculate that? 1 point for the day and 48 minutes added for the bike? You always get a point for a day when you have 30 or more minutes of either swim, bike or run. You then total all minutes of swim, bike, and run for the day regardless if some were less than 30 minutes. |

Master 1609 Gold Coast Australia. | Subject: RE: Consistency Equals Success - CLOSED Dave, thank you. Interestingly, the day after is not as bad as after a street marathon where you beat few muscles to a pulp, here the whole body feels tired, but walking is not a problem. |
