Today is 16 Oct 22. Time to review the purpose of this Blog - again! It is 2 years since the last review. 🤕 2022 was shaping up well and I was on track for a decent middle distance Duathlon race. Then COVID hit me! I tried to salvage the race season but never felt strong or healthy. Looking to 2023 now and focussing on being healthy and some sprint Duathlon racing mixed with some bike TT fun on the Canyon CF

Next Zwift Race and Run Focus

Hello all you folks out there not reading this. Hello family if you read this in the future. So the final WGT Zwift League race is tomorrow morning. The route is La Bologna TT. I have eased back and followed Whoop closely to ensure recovery for the race. It is a short race with a punchy 2.5k climb to be negotiated twice. short the climb may be but it is a race decide, especially with the final climb ending the race at the summit. If you are not with the group at the start of the climb, race over!

Race report to follow. Randomly, see below my test for logging video clips on my Blog. This is moi in France 2019 doing some yoga type stuff pre-ride  8-)


Right. The London Duathlon has been postponed until 5 Sep 21. Not great news but the event is far more likely to happen in September than this April . . . COVID-19 remains the blocker for racing. So I am focused on getting some run speed for a crack at a half decent 5K time. I am rubbish at solo TTs but that is all I can do for now. Sub-18 min? Stretch target I reckon. But I have a secret weapon! I have invested in some Hoka Carbon X trainers. These are my first exposure to carbon plated shoes! Will they bring me the speed I want?


Time will tell. First impressions are good. I find it hard to run slowly in these. The faster you run, the better the feel. But you need to let the run flow. Don't force it. 

More to follow on these good looking trainers!
