New York Marathon (TACXtours virtual cycle race)

As part of my winter training I have joined TACX tours. It is an indoor online  race series for the TACX brand of turbo-trainers. The photo shows my training cave as it is at the moment although I am planning to get a new shed for my bike stuff.

Tuesday nights are Marathon Course nights and this week it was the New York marathon course. There were over 60 people from around a dozen countries racing on two servers. I had a fantastically close finish with a guy called Aldo. He chased me down with about 2k to go but I go him back in the last 500m.

I managed to average 300w for over an hour. My FTP (functional threshold power) was 290w but this run puts it up to 301w according to the Training Peaks software.
