I had a go at this Tiny thing for the first time with the same set of races (260-400, Z1) and I thought I was ready, but then I died. Now zombified. Some zombie Zone 2 today, maybe...

New race score seems about right, assuming this group has a mix of D and C riders: - 3 months ago I was top of D, mid C - been injured and riding less, now somewhere in top half of D - coming at the front of the second group seems about right (top half finish ... just) - my seed score barely changed (320-something)

Never seen anyone maintain 100 rpm throughout a whole race even on flats never mind on a ride exclusive of climbs...Are you using an electric bike?
@michaelnelson1089
@michaelnelson1089 9 ай бұрын
Ha. No. I have arthritic knees and need to reduce resistance. I’ll take that as a compliment. I also increase rpm on climbs for the same reason. Feel free to look at all my other rides for similar rpm. I aim for 90+rpm on flats, and higher on climbs. I also find that mid-foot cleats reduce the load on my knees.

Nice video. It is especially interesting without narration. It was fun to see myself in someone else's video (I am in the Bike & Beer kit) but was pretty tired for this set since I had done Zone 1 and Zone 2 already that day. I identify with your assessment of Cat D as the heaviest, weakest, riders and aspire to do my part to keep it that way! Keep up the good work and maybe see you at another Tiny Race soon.
