    Equally brain-farted yesterday so I have two days to catch up on. Yesterday was pure zone 2 on Zwift distracted by reading one of the epic threads in the debate forum.

    Today was a 1hour workout called Twelve Spikes. It was good, felt achievable and I pushed hard on the effort spikes.

    Adding 43mi for a new YTD 1470mi

    Woo, congratulations on the leveling up!! (am pouting because it's gonna take forever here unless I step up my game in Zwift... but the weather outside is finally starting to get nice! Oh, conundrums!)

    Daily 10 done in Zwift, because today the weather, while clear and cool, is windy as bejeezus.

    80.7mi Gravel, 6109' of climbing. Strava says I burned 5000 cal, haha. What a day... Legs, head, bike were perfect. Had a 12mph headwind for the last 30mi which sucked but luckily it was a lot of descending at that point. I need a beer...

    1130 Ytd

    Oh 5000 calorie burn… I wish!

    Just crunching those calories here with another round of Dust in the Wind, stage 4 A route from Tour of Watopia catch up week. The double xp helps with the levelling up.

    33mi brings todays YTD to 1503mi

    Zwift - Watopia's Waistband & Outdoor Morning Walk.

    April 11, I had a challenging 17 mile fat burn zone ride & long outdoor walk at the local University campus yesterday.It is challenging to keep in fat burn zone when confronting rolling hills. I have difficulty restricting effort but am doing it to stay in fat burn only occasionally wondering into cardio.

    Riding in fat burn zone is fun allowing more opportunity to look at scenery.

    _finally_ over 500 YTD. 512/2023. Ended yesterday at 499.4 which was a metaphoric pebble in my show until today. Quick ride today due to 8:00 call. Gorgeous day. 45 degrees, but I wore shorts, damnit!

    Super short on time tonight but squeezed in a quick workout on Zwift before dashing off to dinner for work.

    12 miles ridden doing the 25 min workout
    aptly named ‘Calorie Crush’. It’s 5 blocks of multiple short 20second efforts at differing intensities. I quite enjoyed it but after block 2 I wasn’t sure if I’d make all 5!

    New YTD total 1539mi

    Welcome, @ktloo !

    I took Friday off and got in some extra miles today. Gorgeous, if a little breezy.
    31 miles and 1700’ today. YTD

    Stopped to pay respects at a memorial to a rider killed this week. Be careful out there!

    Tried a different route today to avoid as some hills. Unfortunately with not as many hills came more traffic. I had to ride through the down town area of my city to get on country roads. I did the falling over thing while uncliping today witch was fun. 27.5 km riden.
    Total 51 out of 2023 miles.

    @ktloo Welcome to the party!! I do hope you enjoy the challenge for its entirety!!

    @sunshineekg LMFAO I'm sorry, but as someone who's toppled over plenty of times due to unclipping the wrong foot, I commiserate and offer sympathy laughter. I will say that my topples due to clips are the ones that wounded nothing but my pride (it was the one where my front wheel went into railroad tracks and I was going 20+mph that hurt like a )(&*^#$, but fortunately I was on my steel race bike so the bike was fine. Had to scrap that kit and buy a new helmet, though).

    Daily 10, and back on my normal trainer in Zwift! Yay!! The hotel recumbent was eating my knees alive.
