This is the second ride since getting a cold. I decided to put in an extra 5 minutes compared to the previous ride. I got things set up and hopped on. The legs felt pretty good to start. I like this route. It has a punchy timed climbing segment that suited me well. I was riding out of the saddle most of the time. I have to check the footage for my placing, but I was up there in the top half. Not much else to tell. Aside from the climbing segments, I kept my tempo steady doing in and out of the saddle efforts. I posted a negative split the second time on the climbing segment. I didn't realize I passed the finish. After 25 minutes passed, I shut it down. I eased it down to 112 BPM on the heart rate for about 5 minutes, and then I hopped off.

Concentration was good. I had a few things to think about and the time went quick. Balance and form was good. Ailments were next to none. Nutrition was good. I had a bowl of oatmeal, half a banana and some grapes for breakfast. I had the other half of the banana, some apple sauce and grapes before hopping on Zwift. Gear worked flawlessly. Other notes, there were over 6 thousand riders on the Watopia map when I hopped on.
