Hi Philip! Great video. What are you using for data overlay? Thank you

[@xphiliptranx]

Wow! A youtube legend! I'm using Garmin Virb. I would recommend getting Gopro Telemetry as Garmin Virb is not that great but it is free.

[@PatrickLino]

@@xphiliptranx haha thanks Philip. Nice job on the race too!

[@xphiliptranx]

Thanks man! ​

[@soussi2ma]

great video, great race, lots of effort ,beautiful scenery ....what more could you ask for.............from N-Africa👍

[@xphiliptranx]

Thanks! I'm sure N-Africa is just as beautiful!

[@davidcoomber4050]

This is a great advert for MTBs

[@overlandingfamily]

Solid!

[@xphiliptranx]

Thanks!

[@tamazoid]

Thanks for the video! I was the one in front of you from the start in the gray and tan color Rapha jersey and pretty much throughout the first 10 mins of the video. Very good job on sub 4's! I came in #401 and hope to get in sub 4's next year with better fueling strategy. This was my first time at the Whistler Granfondo and it was an awesome experience overall!

[@xphiliptranx]

It's definitely doable! Hope to see you there next year!

[@tamazoid]

@@xphiliptranx thanks! I will definitely plan to!

Dropping buckets of sweat at 02:19:25 when you passed me

[@xphiliptranx]

It just took that much effort to pass you!

[@someguy7897]

Great result! Really cool to see this perspective

[@xphiliptranx]

It's nice seeing my noodle arms for 4 hours!

[@GabrielBauman]

I was about 30m behind you at 1:58:48 for the cone incident. Caused a crash I just barely avoided. That was messed up, glad you got through. Thanks for the vid!

[@xphiliptranx]

Those cones are the worst! Yes, thankfully it didn't take anyone out

[@VerpagsTv]

Awesome bro.great job.

[@xphiliptranx]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@jhallock]

Awesome video and strong riding 💪 From Langley

[@xphiliptranx]

Thanks!

[@ZenildoMartins]

Fala Man, qual equipamento você usa para gravar e colocar todos esses mostradores? Muito top!!!

[@xphiliptranx]

Gopro 12 on a chest mount using Garmin Virb for the overlay

[@Stackz401]

Good video! Thanks for sharing

[@GabrielBauman]

Thanks for posting! I’m in there somewhere 😂

[@xphiliptranx]

I bet you are! Crazy amount of riders in this event!

[@michellerikamanansala4773]

Nice POV!!

[@xphiliptranx]

Thanks!

[@laisinggong]

Cool bro!!

[@xphiliptranx]

✌

[@sashaspano588]

Found two of my buddies in your footage haha

[@xphiliptranx]

Cool! What are the times they finished at?

[@ohevisrael]

192 bpm at 40K, crazy

[@xphiliptranx]

It gets higher in crits! 200+

[@danbee.cycling]

Hey Philip, did you have to change the battery of the GoPro during the race or was that all on a single charge?

[@xphiliptranx]

I used a very small 10,000mah external battery. The cable ran from the GoPro, over the top of my jersey, then under my jersey to the back pockets. My jersey had a premade hole to the back pockets

[@danbee.cycling]

@@xphiliptranx nice! Congrats on the video and ride BTW! 👏👏

[@davidjohn51]

dude, your HR is at 196bpm and you're only 20min. into the race!? congrats on the sub 4 hr tho

[@xphiliptranx]

It's a hammerfest up Taylor and all the way to Horseshoe Bay. That's where the fast group splits! Max effort!

[@AngelAguilar-sl2vr]

Great video , and you did really well ,which place is this? Race ?

[@xphiliptranx]

Thank you! This is the Whistler Gran Fondo in Vancouver, BC which runs in early September

[@musabkartal]

194 bpm? Bro I never reach that, how do you even get to that, I would stop whatever I'm doing if I go above 180

[@xphiliptranx]

Max effort!

[@gweflj]

I’m nearly 50 and I see 190+ fairly often.

[@jhallock]

Age is a big part of it too, 220-your age is the average max hr they say

[@gweflj]

@@jhallock I'm 50 and constantly see 190+.

[@musabkartal]

@@xphiliptranx its too much, it shouldn't reach 194, this is not max effort, this is a death wish. get it checked out and if you are on caffeine, stop it. when I stopped using caffeine my max hr dropped by 15

[@bballa99]

How do you get these settings on your GoPro?!

[@xphiliptranx]

It's an overlay from Garmin Virb

[@partypooper17]

Nice video and great finish time. What's your FTP and w/kg? My goal is to work towards a sub 4hr.

[@xphiliptranx]

250, 3.75 w/kg. It's doable if you can find a good group to ride with!

[@partypooper17]

@@xphiliptranx wow, nice numbers. How long did it take you to get there and how many hours do you ride a week?

[@xphiliptranx]

About 2 years of serious riding. 8-12 hours a week. Definitely get an indoor trainer and/or coach, it'll help a lot!
