Tour de CT - COMPUTRAINER CHALLENGE (Page 2)

Just looking at your results for Alp d'Huez, I think I am REALLY afraid..... can I start crying now, even though I won't be attempting this until later, or on Friday? Is it possible to average NEGATIVE miles per hour (trying to pedal up the hill, but getting 1/2 way up and unable to continue to go, so rolling backwards down the hill)....  it may happen, oh yes, it just may...

Alp d' Huez

Distance: 14.08

Time: 1:31:02.24

Watts ave/max:  187.1/300

Watts/kg:  2.6/4.1

yep, I averaged 9.3 miles per hour....  next time maybe I shouldn't just try to do the challenge  without riding a while before it starts...  glad tomorrow is a rest day.. maybe the whole next week should be resting..

Results so far

i'll clean it up a bit when the weekend comes - Great JOb Guys!!!

Watts/Kg: 3.28

I never want to do that again.  I was shaking and dizzy when I got done.  Maybe I should have hit up a gel at some point.  Farking incredible.

Hey Scott,  did you see the goat too??  I think I saw 4 of them. They were next to that guy from the Ricola commercials.

Seriously, though, strong work, sir. That course is crazy tough... I talked to one of the MD's today who actually biked Alp d'Huez.. I told him that any thoughts of attempting parts of the Tour went right out the window after that ride... he said "oh, you could do that... it's probably the coolest ride you would ever do." Umm, yeah.... 

I saw 3 goats, 2 donkai, and a whole bunch of stars.  I didn't see the ricola guy, but the only thing that kept me going was the fact that I was watching the Mont Ventoux stage of last years tour.  I am not to proud to admit that I almost quit 3 times.

I think an extension is allowed  - just glad to have you and looking forward to your alp d huez report

It looks like we are almost all trying to tackle the 50 miler today - should be interesting!

Not real happy with this.  Legs just didn't feel into it and my stomach started acting up with 10 miles left.  Maybe a little too much drinky last night

Nice Ride Scott!!!!

I felt it too.  Lil hard to find that extra push

50 mile 5pct - 3200 ft climb ( almost as much as the Alp de Huez just had 36 more mile to it)

Forgot to add my time. 2:31:26

Ave/max watts: 158.5/325.0

Watts per kilogram ave/max:  2.2/4.5

All other data really sucked. My biking is NOT where it should be..  I couldn't get comfortable during this ride. I think I shifted more during this ride than pretty much any ride I've done.... up/down, up/down.. I can only get better from here, right??

Nice work guys.  As I told Chris I was VERY close to throwing up during the last 10 miles.
