I am also training to have some fun at the sprint tent. I have a friend that joined us for this race and he is going to be the limiting factor. So I don’t need to be in top form for the race. I just need to be able to complete it.
We will see if I can catch the endurance bug and start actually training for longer events. The issue is my brother is very light at 135 lbs and his ftp is around 280 so the watts per kg are beyond what I will ever be able to produce. Then I am10 years older as well. I will just hold him back so doing a race with him is really never going to happen unless he is willing to hang with my fat ass.
