Looks like the Vets had a not so hectic ride? Then again I forgot he's lighter than me so he's power will seem lowerEmbarrassedMarius2008-11-17 02:44:42

Okay, here's a little exercise for you.  Take the avg power in his attack, divide by 63kg (to be on the safe side).  Then multiply by your own weight.

Now, try do that power for 4 minutes, then immediately do 1 hour at 0.9 intensity factor (90% of your FTP)

 

That's what it takes to solo win a race like that!!

if his face was anything to go by, he was simply cruising along with zero effort... LOLLOLLOLClap

 

as for the rest of them - i dunno... they were too far back so after getting him safely to the finish line i just headed off to go sort out some taxis in randburg area...

that last TT is impressive - If of 0.9 -- so his FTP should be round about 320?

or 5.2 W/KG? 

 

Yup, he's not quite at his peak at the moment.

James Lauter (sp?) doing the commentary on the line got a bit of a surprise when Andrew arrived, nearly missed him!

 

Belive me, 0.9 Intensity for 1 hour hurts, he just hides it well.

Bruce, i speak under correction...but does Andrew not ride with a group from the Engen garage in the mornings?  If that is the case, how would he be able to train his L4, L5, L6 zones if he is in a group?

Andrew rides L4, L5 and L6, the group chases him around Jozi...

That's pretty much it.  Andrew just rides hard and then he rests.  I've tried to get him to do intervals, but usually just get a not so polite F.O. 

 

He does L5/L6 in the various hills on the route, and everybody else tries to hang on.

That's why it is well documented that you don't half-wheel him, he just goes faster! Ouch
