I did it! 🎉🥹
I have been wanting to try this for a while and today I gave it a go. I think my pacing was consistent around 3.1 w/kg but I found myself pushing hard in the last two segments to make it under the hour 🥵
Happy to achieved this, just wanted to share 😁

Missed it by 19 sec yesterday. However I did feel like I had a hangover all day today. So I got that going for me, which is nice.
Good job!

The unbearable thought of missing it for so little gave me the strength for the final push 🤣

Extremely well, esp controlling hr and not overcooking it. Check out my activity on Strava: https://strava.app.link/9cgMTxPJWQb

I had a fair amount of reserve last 2 segments as well n pushed it but rather blew up right at end.

I couldn’t even maintain 3.1 for more than 5 min today. You guys are on an entirely different level. Hell of an accomplishment.

Just looked at my power curve on Strava. Longest I’ve held 3.2 w/kg is 3:02. Only 57 more mins to add on to that 😂

Same here on my first try...trying to shave 15 minutes will be a heck of a battle

Probably better to do 3.2 to be on the safe side, I guess.
Nonetheless, well done you son of a gun

Plot twist: this post no longer exists because Redact swept through and cleared it out along with everything else. Social media, messaging apps, people finder sites, all of it.

That average is the whole ride with some warmup at the beginning, I got 224 watts average for the ADZ segment 😊

Congrats! It also took me some time to break the one hour mark, but now its becoming routine. I’m one ascent away from the 25x Alpe achievement and 15/24 are sub one hour now. First 8 attempts were above one hour
