@vdubber67, yes thats about what i thought, but i’m not fit enough to do the climbs at GT or Comrie all in z2 i’m afraid – to be fair to myself, i doubt many people are.
Also, whilst i think the Training Bible is a great starting point for anyone and would always recommend it, however like to keep my mind open to other ways of doing things. If you read his blog even he conceeds that some elements of the bible may be out of date.
@cookeaa, definitely endurance events for 2017, GT7, 10under, Dragon Ride Devil distance for example and the big goal likely to be Relentless24.
I think i’ve definitely neglected short efforts in the past in favour of endurance and threshold efforts. I think if i was tested i’d have an exceptionally flat CP curve. Would be nice to pull up 10s power without sacrificing elsewhere.
Descending is definitely a weakness, that has just come from coming to mtb from road and not having access to technical singletrack close by.
