										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So for the first time in two months I got on the bike in order to take part on Zwift&#8217;s <a href="https://www.zwift.com/uk/tour-of-watopia/ride" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2024 Tour of Watopia</a> event. Normally I would have signed up for the Long Ride but given how I was feeling and the long pause between regular rides I knew my fitness level wasn&#8217;t up to it. In addition to that I had only returned from holiday the previous day and had endured 16-hour overnight flight without sleep. So, Standard Ride for me on <a href="https://www.zwift.com/uk/tour-of-watopia-ride-stage-details#ridestage1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Stage 1</a> of the Tour meant the <a href="https://zwiftinsider.com/route/figure-8/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Figure 8</a> route.</p>
<p>The lengths of the Long and Standard rides were the same but the elevation was 682 m versus 234 m. It turned out it was the right decision &#8211; I was dying well before the end of the 30 km and especially on the reverse climb over the hill around the 21 km mark. Still it got done and it felt great to have achieved it. As a bonus I unlocked the Tour of Watopia &#8217;24 Cycling Shoes. Woo!</p>
