I'm waiting for my LBS to tell me the new BB he ordered for me came in. Who'd have thought a cartridge bottom bracket made at least 26 years ago might be a touch 'gravelly' after all these years? Still works, just not the glassy smoothness you want from a BB. I decided NOT to go the whole Phil Wood route, not being made of money and all.
I ended up sleeping 9 hours after last night's Zwifting. 2 hrs at an average of low Z3, I guess that's a lot! Because I was plumb tuckered out. I think I'm paying a hefty penalty on climbs, even in Zwift, for being 200 lbs. It's way better than 220 or 230! I'm curious about 190 or even 180 lbs, but it seems like a heavy lift to get that light.
I've dialed back the number of rides/week this month, though I think the length and intensity of the rides I am doing may be higher. I think what I'm gonna do is just do TdZ for inside rides Tuesday and Friday, and long ride Sunday, for the next week or so, and then start something a bit more structured. I'm trying to find some kind of guidance on training for free. Maybe Systm's free trial? I'm curious about their 4dp test, find out what my weaknesses are - "You're old, fat, and lazy!".
