EP.9 - Buying an Elite DIRETO XR-T smart trainer and doing my first FTP test while being hangover

Howdy fellow human beings!
Alright, here we go. I finally got my hands on a DIRETO XR-T smart trainer, and it’s time to do my first FTP test.
Spoiler: it’s going to be bad. Really bad.
Let’s set the scene here: I’ve been sick, eating way too much, and haven’t trained for almost two months. This is basically the perfect recipe for the worst FTP test results of my life.
But hey, you’ve got to start somewhere, right?
I’ve also been hitting the gym lately-trying to build up some power for the bike-so this test is more like a baseline for the comeback. No expectations, no pressure, just a casual ride into the abyss of low watts.
Stick around if you’re into watching someone barely survive an FTP test and somehow stay optimistic about it.
Let’s gooooooo!
