Thanks mate, I really appreciate the positive feedback on these videos. I can’t believe I used to go in 9-5 everyday. It’s a shame so many employers are force people back.
It’s interesting you mentioned Whoop. I had one and it didn’t even see my subscription out before realising it was junk. The reason I say this is I raced the Long Dirty Warrny a 250 km gravel race (have done twice now), although I’m sure you’ve heard of it. The following day after the race, I was feeling a little worse for wear and yet my Whoop recovery score was at 96%, tbh I felt like I’d been hit by a truck. So for Whoop to be telling me I’m ready to perform at my maximum was an absolute joke. My TSS just for the race was in excess of 550. It also did this to me on a couple of 200 km plus gravel training rides. When I asked it’s AI chat how this was possible it advised me to call emergency services if I was feeling suicidal. Wtf!! After that it went straight into the bin. Cheers and keep up the great content, love the new editing.
That is a pretty poor experience with Whoop. No wonder you decided against it. My experience has been better than that, but I agree it definitely has misfires. The tech in an Apple Watch is 10x better, but what Whoop does with the data (assuming it is correct) is miles ahead. I am definitely going to do a more in depth video on my decision making process as my renewal looms. How did you go in the Warrny?
I'm in Melbourne. It's been so cold. The gravel bike interests me. What end of the gravel spectrum are you aiming for? Light gravel or something more gnarly? I also need more kilometres on the bike. Not feeling the motivation for that at the moment.
Looking to expand the horizons. Probably will try and get to Gears and Beers later this year. Not sure if that is considered gnarly or not. The rain has been the biggest downer in Sydney. I was all ready for a ride this morning and then it started again. 100km on Zwift instead...
Winter kit out here in the Valley. Compression long thights with fleece lined leggings over the top and knicks. Long sleeve thermal under shirt, jersey and wind jacket. Thin fleece gloves with thicker full finger gloves over top. Thermal neck warmer, Thermal skull cap under helmet. Fleece lined shoe covers over cyling shoes. Snug as a bug in 0°C temps.
Another entertaining video. I like your persona. Also, Since Covid I rarely do the office thing anymore…..😉
