The i team revisited / new roadie hubbers

[Bat]

Thank you everyone for the advice given so far.

 

Just a bit more information:  I have come done from about 121kg in May to about 112 now.  Slow progress, but it is coming down.

My Wahoo Kickr has doubled my training kms because I have more opportunity to train now and I am already seeing some results.

I am a runner as well and is well aware that weight comes off when running, but I have trained and built up to a 21km in July (if I remember correctly) but then switched to mostly cycling trying to build up for the 94.7.  I have done 5 Two Oceans marathons and too many other marathons and ultras (up to 56km) to remember and attempted Comrades a number of times but failed to get to the finish line yet.

This is however a number of years ago (last Two Oceans in 2009) and somehow it seems that my age (51) is causing weight loss to be much more difficult that it has been in years gone by.

I am 1.91m, so my ideal weight is maybe in the mid 80's, but will be very happy with a 95.  I have not weighed less than 100kg in the last 20 years, even with all my running.

I am a data freak and will analyse and study my training data to try and improve and is in constant competition with my previous training sessions.

 

My FTP has been about 180W @ 120kg and now it is about 210W @ 112kg, so I have improved my W/kg quite a bit and I can see a sizable increase in speed up hills, but there is still a lot of work to do as most of my speed loss is on hills.  On a perfectly flat road I can maintain 30km/h, but up a 4% incline I struggle to maintain 10km/h

Well done Peekay. You are an inspiration for many of us to. Just stay motivated and stick to your goals and the rewards will come.

Sorry I have to bail on the 3rd.

Mom is landing from NZ and I am expected to pick her up. 

She was not chuffed when I said she must sit around and wait for a couple of hours.     

 

Please organise another date soon as I would love to partake.

 

We normally do a lekker long ride on the 16th of December which falls on a Friday this year.....

Big ride out East of Pretoria?

If Spinnekop says Big ride I get more nervous that what I am now, still in for now, hopefully I can sort my wheel-bearings before then.

Depending on how big, I'm keen.

 

Crap, I'm not here on the 16th.

 

Edit 2: Also, damn you for stealing my KOM I stole from you

Hopefully you only had one KOM because Sinnekop takes revenge and sommer takes 3 more just to keep you humble 

 

I learned the hard way to stay away from his KOM's

So how did the revised I Team do at 947?

Did you guys ride together and achieve a sub 3?

There was never a plan to ride the 947 as the "new" I Team.

It's all about starting in 2017 at smaller races and possibly training rides.
