  • Jumping back into the cyclocross scene after a 6-week break, and this one hit hard! My first cyclocross race of 2024 was at round 4 of the Wessex CX League in Prospect Park, Reading. It was my first race since becoming a Dad, and wow, it was a brutal wake-up call!
    With my training on pause and a bit of 'Dad weight' added on, I knew it wouldn't be easy, but I didn't expect to struggle this much. The power just wasn't there, leading to one of my worst results in recent memory. But that's the beauty of cyclocross - it challenges you, pushes you, and reminds you why you love racing!

    The rest of us mid-packers enjoy watching your ride around, even it it isn't riding around really fast.

    Fantastic effort considering. I don’t feel so bad about being slow and blaming it on being a dad! Looking forward to the next video. Top work fella and congrats

    Bring it on at Southampton!!!! I will ensure I have my Liss kit. Rob and I will 1-2 you so at least one of us can say we have beaten you.

    Hang in there Giorgio. Give yourself some grace here. You've had a life changing event with becoming a new dad. That is enough to make a man exhausted. Just do your best. I like your videos weather your first place or last place. Keep up the good work dad. 👍💪👊

    Finally some race footage that wasn't just from the front of the race watching Paul Lloyd vanishing on the first lap! 😂
    Still showing good numbers Giorgio, have some patience and you'll move forward again

    You don’t give yourself enough credit, remember new baby, broken sleep, reduced fitness training plus you’ve put some weight on which you wanted. Give yourself a bit of time to adjust and I know you’ll be back, I have faith. Well done 😉 👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

    Your power looks really good though, you're doing big sections at 400+

    • @GiorgioCoppolaCycling
      @GiorgioCoppolaCycling  5 днів тому

      I wouldn’t look to much into the 12 mins of footage, my average power was just over 200w which will give you an idea of the other 50 mins of racing 😂

    awesome race vid and commentary GC...vintage stuff from the start...for a second at least! those big power figures worked well for the epic end battle - keep on giving it some...90s is all it takes! :) cheers, made me smile, thanks

      Used my watch to track hr and it sometimes takes a while to catch up and isn’t always 100% accurate

    I think you're taking this baby topic a bit too seriously. Imagine with ignoring the baby and more training you could've achieved 18th or even 16th place instead of 21st. Priorities mate!

    • @GiorgioCoppolaCycling

      😂 I would like to hope if I was still full on training I would do a bit better than 16th 😂
