Mamil Posted February 14, 2022 Posted February 14, 2022 10 hours ago, Jbr said: it's a bit different than that and I think that's why it's so difficult to stay in the front group till the end. You pretty much have one all out VO2 max effort up Edinburg, then Smits is a 9-10mins effort in total but in 2021 it just started going fast on the last 4 mins so still technically a VO2 max effort, but if this year it goes like we've done Bothman's a few times in the last few months, it could be a 10 mins effort with a very very hard last couple minutes... And chappies is a very hard 2 mins into a very hard 4 mins, but all in all you don't get to recover at all between little chappies and the main climb.... That's why I'm mostly working on my 10 mins efforts rather than very specific 4/5 mins efforts at the moment, also because there's tour du cap before and it has longer climbs as well... This is interesting and leads me to create a zwift workout with vo2max intervals of those durations kicking up to the absolute limit for the last bit of each one. Mental preparation for those efforts too.

MongooseMan Posted February 14, 2022 Posted February 14, 2022 As pointed out elsewhere, post-99er updated seedings for CTCT are now available on racetec (under "my results"). Got bumped from 2B to 1C. Going to be crazy fun on my dik wiele 🤣 Sid the Sloth and MORNE 2

pigsteyn Posted February 15, 2022 Posted February 15, 2022 (edited) Does anyone know if it's still allowed to start in a group later than your official seeding group? My daughter is doing her first so she is seeded 5 groups down from us and we would like to start with her. I read everything on the official site and couldn't find anything mentioning it.
