Zwift Set up – according to Ann:
There are TWO apps for Zwift.
The orange is what runs the trainer/running virtual world with Avatars.
The BLUE Mobile Link is where you can see the Events, Other Zwifters, text on the rides/runs.
MY SETUP: (Your set up may vary and have different results)
  • The Orange app is on my LAPTOP using my Garmin ANT which displays the ‘GAME’ 
  • The Blue Mobile Link is on my IPAD or IPHONE – this is where I text – handy tip  - use VOICE to text for easy communication.  The mic is located on the key board – press to enable.
This set up works for me as I don't have to worry about drop outs.  To use in a gym you may need to play around as there maybe different network connections.  The apps need to be on the SAME network. Also, if you change your password on one app - make sure to SIGN OUT/back in to the other devices. :)



How do I know the difference:
This is what the game screen looks like.

Next screen – Run is ‘orange’ meaning that’s what I want to do, if I want to ride – click on ride.

PAIR devices. – READ and follow directions.  You should CALIBRATE your foot pod for the treadmill and Zwift – they ‘may ‘ be off – it’s not perfect…so just be ok with Zwift saying you are running 5.6 mph and your TM saying 5.4….or visa versa – if you are with other runners – and want to stay together adjust accordingly…remember this is for FUN and ultimately is a GAME.
The mobile link:
Sign up for the events here – under events – click on arrow to see what’s coming up – it defaults to YOUR TIME ZONE!!!!

30 Days on the Vasa- Ann's Experiment

DID YOU SWIM TODAY???  I DID FOR EACH OF THE LAST 3O DAYS! Backstory: I did very little swimming as a child.  When I was 8(I think) I fell off the high dive board at the pool...and missed the pool and hit the concrete.  That pretty much ended my swimming.  I didn't get in a pool until I had to do a swim test in high school in CA.  There they told me to get out of the pool within a couple of minutes as they thought i might drown. Yep the struggle is real.   Fast forward to a lunch after an ice hockey practice when a friend says - you should do a triathlon.  You bike and run, might as well do a triathlon. I DON'T swim.  So learn...and another friend said she'd do the triathlon with me.  So....I found someone to help me swim - Total immersion class.  The first lesson - "stop kicking - I don't know what you are doing but when you kick you are moving backwards."  Again...the struggle is real.  First triathlon....survived the swim, panicked a bi

Drum roll...First Group Ride what's it like?!

I read and read about all the different group rides.  I figured I'd go for it.  I left work early so I could get home in time to get all set up.  Wednesday at 4:45 pm pst there is a ride called:  WKG 2for1 THE AMERICAS the info says: Whether you are recovering from a race, preparing for an event or just fancy a fun spin with friends, the WKG ‘2 for 1’ is the perfect leg loosener! Join us for 1 hour every Wednesday evening for a controlled social ride around the flat Watopia course (Zwift schedule permitting). The ride leader will look to hold 2.0 w/kg throughout the 1 hour long ride but will be happy to help anyone that has been detached from the back of the group. There will be optional sprints and a final minute sprint race, if you fancy it :) Please tag your Zwift name with ‘2FOR1’. For example ‘your name2FOR1’ I look forward to seeing you on course. How do I interpret 2.0 w/kg? 160 lbs you should hold 145 watts for the ride 150 lbs  you should hold 140 watts for th
