In another discovery analysis shows I race stronger on a Tuesday, this makes more sense than you think as my hard days have a habit of being Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday. The biggest laugh though was my breakthrough race was on a Sunday, again though analysis of the training shows why. God I do love my data |

The dreaded Zwifting has had positive benefits in terms of my monthly cycle mileage being much higher, but now curtailed by significant chafage of the undercarriage despite use of chamois cream and quality padded shorts. Think I need to spend some time on playing with saddle fitting. It has basically stopped me from enjoying my riding this week.  One question: to shave or not to shave? (apologies for TMI) Any other suggestions, other than HTFU, welcome

Apparently the UK Women's team found that switching to*not* shaving reduced instances of undercarriage unpleasantness - the hair is there as a natural anti-chafing measure after all, though I'm not sure if they published anywhere more details of level of intimate grooming they found optimal or whether it was just chafing that was an issue or there were other concerns.

I feel your pain CStar, I probably need to invest in better undercarriage creams I've only got Vaseline in the cupboard. I can't stand up for too long as I'm pushing a harder gear and the legs don't last very long. Tour for all group ride I did the longer A group ride started mid zone 2 zone 3 first lap 2nd lap there was lots of yellow and red on the graph. ZPower has reported an increase in FTP and 20 min power after my race on Tuesday
