I made the mistake and did the Mountain Masiff race and just did not think about it before I entered. I got destroyed. I do not DNF but seeing you do the radio tower makes my legs shake. LOL and you are doing the Four Horseman. Damn son. Mine was like 24 miles.
Haha. Nice! This one hurt a lot. Felt like I paced it well. Still hurt so much. Totally got dropped on the radio tower KOM. Had to try to get myself back in the group by descending as best I could.
@@thecrohnscyclist IMHO your pacing was perfect. I am watching as I type but you got that final climb where win or not. I just wonder if the bike/wheel combo can be the difference maker. Confusing when rider goes supertuck. Also maybe me but the asian bot pisses me off, 39 seconds and gaining as we start the hill. Zwift should be able to just get them off the screen during the race.
Definitely bike choice and wheels would help a lot. But FRR has everyone fixed on one of the heaviest bikes. If I could have used the lightest bike and then lightest wheels, I would have saved around 1 and a half minutes. I still could have used the lightest wheels. But it would have saved me only about 20 seconds. And then if I used the fastest disc wheels on the descent, I would have saved 15 seconds. So only 5 second difference. Figured it wasn't worth switching since it takes me about 8-10 seconds to switch. And then another 8-10 seconds to switch back once I got to the top.
Was a great race to suffer together. Haha. Felt like I paced that course the best I have ever done before. Actually still had some power after the Alp climb.
Yep! That has happened to me before and I was afraid of that. Going down the Alp and resting then the legs just won't hold power after that rest from the descent. But today I was still able to hold the same power after the descent that I was going up the Alp. So definitely think I was pacing myself well!
I literally thought the same thing. I had no clue it was included until the last 5 minutes when I realized the course was ending but we still have 1.5 miles left in the race. Then I realized it would take us back up the ZWIFT KOM again. I was so salty. Haha.

Great effort on the Epic decsent those kickers are awful
Yes. Always so tough to try to maintain good speed doing those. But was able to do them well to catch back up! Very happy about that.

Did in D pen truely awful ,rested coming down the Alpe then the legs wouldnt work again

lol . . . that's absolute cruel and unusual punishment to tack on Zwift KOM to the end of Four Horseman . . .
