    Crowded start again! Wonder what the result will be if you start at 26/417. Can you also make a video of the whole race in another video? Would love to see that. Keep up the good work!🎉

    Nice video Bas! I can really emphasize with what you are saying about the negative spiral in your head. It's one of the most important things in competition to have a strong and resilient mindset as that massively impacts your ability to perform throughout the race (plus how much fun you are having too!). Blijf gewoon doorgaan en bedankt voor het video 🦾

    Hehe it was me running up and jumping back on at 3:50 :) the guy infront of me braked and i had to jump off because it was too steep to accelerate again

    Haha, I was analyzing whether running would have been faster or not. I think you made the right choice there👏. Also super nice of the spectator that pushed you a bit!

    Yea i had no idea who he was but he yelled at me to get on my bike so i did :P i have a background in running but the effort was pretty tough. My gearing wasnt big enough to get over the top of the climb. Hence why i started running at the start when the guys infront of me stopped. I couldnt start again

    Cool video. Just wondering how you could live-track your position in the video? Did you have that info during the race?

  • @FlyingGravelMan

    Thank you! I just estimated at what position I started and I know at what position I ended, so these are based on my own estimations. I manually added the position, the rest is based on my .fit file of course (;

    Hey Bas , machtige rit...welke overlay heb je hier gebruikt?

    Hi @frannyyarina, ik heb Telemetry Overlay gebruikt, werkt perfect (;

    Als je nu terugkijkt op deze race, welke fiets zou je dan het best aanraden? De Gravel of mss toch eer naar een MTB gaan vanwege de techniciteit?

    Goeie vraag! Het was wel een natte editie, maar misschien gravel bike met suspension fork zou de ideale optie zijn haha. Als ik komend jaar wee zou gaan zou ik voor gravel gaan met hele brede banden 45mm of meer

    Hoe kan je power/kg weergeven in Telemetry Overlay?

  • @FlyingGravelMan

    @FlyingGravelMan

    Ай бұрын

    Zo kreeg ik hem van Telemetry uitgelegd: 1 - You can create a Custom mini gauge, select the Power data, and use the Factor control on the right to apply the formula you described by multiplying the Power data by a number. For example, for a 60 kg person, you would set a Factor of 0.016667 (1/60). For 80 kg it would be 0.0125 (1/80) Succes ;)
