Takker. Synes det er svært at pace bakkerne. Men det er helt sikkert en mental ting som man kan arbejde med. Men tænker det er et spørgsmål om at være i god form. Min erfaring indtil nu er at jeg ikke har det ekstra overskud selv om jeg holder igen i starten. Men nu hvor man kender stigningen, så kan det være at det er nemmere. Tak for tippet med cyklen, det vil jeg prøve. Jeg tjekker din video ud senere. 👍 Vi ses derude. 💪😎

Thanks a lot. 😎

Well done. I need to loose a lot of weight to beat that time. 👍💪😎

@WattsHartvig myself too I am on a weight loss journey 19stone 12pounds 5ft 10in. Male no longer eating red meat by the weekend.

@@dewidavies7995 Well done. Way to go. 💪

The ride was done approx 1 1/2 hour after having dinner in the evening. It was pretty hot and unplanned. And I was going all out at the last bit of the climb. My age is 47. Generally my HR is in the higher end during races or events like this. I'm amazed that you can keep your HR at 81% in a climb like this. Just show that I need to get in better shape maybe. Well done. 💪👍😎

@@WattsHartvig Thanks for responding back. I have used a HRM since 1987 and over the years my body sticks around 80% . Two Ironman champions few weeks back both had open heart surgeries and are few years older than me . And both trained long and hard , which that is 4 former Ironman triathlon champions who have had open heart surgery . The HR formula I have used came from Dr Phil Maffetone . Take 180 minus 47 = 133 = 80% take another 10 =123 = 70% . Plus Girlfriend is a 30+ yrs as a cardio othro rehab RN . See's all of the local athletes get struck down . " Fine line between fitness and health " Dr Phillip Maffetone . If you want to be doing this 20yrs from now like me , slow down the HR to 133 to 123 . 37 yrs training smart , not hard , train to last , not to go fast.

Thanks a lot. I don't know if it's a physical thing being seated versus standing or if it tracks back to me riding more mountainbike than road bike. I feel that I can push more watts seated, where my cadance is really low when standing, and grinding those big gears tires le out. But I guess its a thing you can train and get better at. 💪👍😎🚴

Thanks a lot. Go for it, I'm sure you can do it and beat my time. 💪👍😎

@@WattsHartvig Ha-ha... yes from what I can see we seem to be similar in fitness so yes, need to beat 21:54 and 208 grade with a lower finishing heart rate than 177! Just kidding... 😁

Nice. Well done. I'm still waiting for my next try. 💪👍

Yup. I'm just afraid that the average will be too low if I start at a managed pace. I did mention in the video that I did 7 km warm........I actually did 8 km before doing this. 💪👍😎

You are right. I had an opposite race this Saturday where I felt like I had to push on the hills to see if I could shake some riders from the frontgroup. So spot on, its a fine line between when to preserve your strength and when to try push. 💪👍😎

😂 It's flat as a pancake where I live. So the climbs in Zwift actually provides a bit of fun for me, even though it might not look like that on the video. 😎

@@WattsHartvigyeah it surely did not 🤣

@@WattsHartvig hey you should go cycling in switzerland once. before i go riding i need to decide whether i want to go up the mountains, along lakes, through forests, speeding on the road, or a combination of those things. all accessible in less than 20 minutes. when i think about it, its quite spectacular. you would like it.

Thanks. 👍

Nice. That's my next goal. 💪20.11

You need the gears man. 😎 Couldn't do it without them. Unless you put your trainer difficulty on 0% I guess. 👍 Have a great second try. 💪

Thanks. You have to motivate yourself somehow when you are about to blow up. 😂👍😎

I'm sure you can. Go for it. I came in totally unprepared. Just suppress the feeling of stopping that you get 1/3 up the climb. 💪👍 😉

@@WattsHartvig Just finished the climb. I finished in 16:01. I should put my 34 tooth cassette on my trainer for that. That was brutal.

@@Joshua-dx7zn wow great job. You rocked it. I need to loose some weight before I can beat that time. 💪 Well done. 👍

@@WattsHartvig I'm 135lbs and more of a climber so I kind of have an advantage. Still came in 38th of the people around me. I did run 2 miles this morning so that probably didn't help.

Thanks 👍

Yep. I almost blew up myself as well. I will plan it a little better next time. 👍😎

Will do. 👍

Yep, we all learn that the hard way.

Thank you. You are absolutely right. I had no real plan but just to take a stab at it. Now I know the climb and I will follow your advice next time and see if that can improve things. 👍

Thank you 👍😎

Indeed. Tried it twice now. Man its a hard one for me. 👍

Indeed and thank you. Thought I had a shot at catching the rider in front of me at the end.........but I didn't 😀😎👍 So maybe I should just have relaxed a little bit more. 🤘😂

Thanks a lot. Making the video was not as hard as the actual climb though. 😂👍

Indeed. But at least one other rider suffered more than me. 😉

Thank you. Not my favourite colors in Zwift because then you know that it eventually will hurt 💪. But I managed to get through it and then only relax a little bit on the last lap. 🚴😎👍

Thank you Ryan. And right back at you. Hope you will find time for some zwifting between all the running and IRL races. 🤘👍😎

Thanks 👍

Not as much as going up the Alpe. But a little pain is always good. Thanks. 👍

Thanks. I hope so. 👍😀

You are absolutely right. Its the repetition of the punchy climbs that gets you in the end. So I'm basically hiding them with more speed to at the start of the race, and then I blow up near the end. But I just have to keep going at it. Thanks for your advice. 👍

Thank you. Will do 😎

Thanks a lot 👍

You are welcome. Hope you enjoyed it. 👍

😀 Thanks..... I guess. 👍

@@WattsHartvig you maintained a good position in that race. you did quite well! how long have you been doing zwift racing? Keep working hard!

Thanks. I have been on Zwift for 2 years. But I have only been seriously about racing for the last 6 months or so. Right now I'm trying a combination of racing and zone 2 training to improve. 🤘👍🚴

Yep. They really drain you for energy quickly 🤘
