Good that you pushed through it and thank you for this video. I was planning to do this in the next few days, so now I know what to expect to pace myself better.

Nice work! I have done it twice and its not easy for sure!

Nice. Well done. I'm still waiting for my next try. 💪👍

I think this definitely requires you to get into a rhythm and just keep going at a manageable wattage. We don’t know if you had already warmed up also.

Yup. I'm just afraid that the average will be too low if I start at a managed pace. I did mention in the video that I did 7 km warm........I actually did 8 km before doing this. 💪👍😎

Solid effort! Great job

You did well to hold on until the end there and your average power did not drop too badly. But my bit of advice would be this: when doing any maximal effort,for example a time trial ,you should set a deliberately easier pace at the start,for at least the first quarter. I’m sure you realize now you went off too hard at the start. I would be pretty confident if you do it again and you start easier, say at 215w W for the first few minutes, your FTP will end up higher

Thank you. You are absolutely right. I had no real plan but just to take a stab at it. Now I know the climb and I will follow your advice next time and see if that can improve things. 👍

Great effort 👌. I did it myself and blew up the first time and a little better the second time. It takes a bit of getting used to.

You need the gears man. 😎 Couldn't do it without them. Unless you put your trainer difficulty on 0% I guess. 👍 Have a great second try. 💪

I'd do it again, only this time pace yourself, as AW65 said.

Will do. 👍

That doesn't look fun at all. I will have to try it today or tomorrow though. I will have to see if I can beat your time but that looks like a solid effort.

I'm sure you can. Go for it. I came in totally unprepared. Just suppress the feeling of stopping that you get 1/3 up the climb. 💪👍 😉

@@WattsHartvig I'm 135lbs and more of a climber so I kind of have an advantage. Still came in 38th of the people around me. I did run 2 miles this morning so that probably didn't help.

As swiss i do not understand the fuss about this. Its neither steep nor long 😂😂 just go up to your abilities and its over very quickly.

@@WattsHartvig hey you should go cycling in switzerland once. before i go riding i need to decide whether i want to go up the mountains, along lakes, through forests, speeding on the road, or a combination of those things. all accessible in less than 20 minutes. when i think about it, its quite spectacular. you would like it.
