Zwift Thoughts

Like shower thoughts, but even less interesting....

These are the things that rattle through my head while riding on the trainer:

  • I'm doing a really good job keeping my watts on track! Go me!
  • Hey...my chain just fell off! Can it do that?
  • Wow...They really want me to push it! Do they seriously want me to ride that many watts? Will I fall off the bike? Will I break it?
  • This is boring. I'll stop after I hit 5 miles.
  • Looks at all that detail on the graphics. They got the crafts in the asphalt perfect. There's even weeds growing through it. 
  • If they can put weeds in the roads, why can't they add roadkill? I haven't seen a single roadkill!
  • My helmet doesn't match my jersey! Ug. 
  • Well, I can't stop now. I have to finish this stage.
  • Why am I even wearing a helmet? I can't get injured in a virtual world.
  • I wonder if more routes will unlock for me as I do more. The graphic effect is pretty good, but inconsistent. The roads and mountains are amazing, but that field over there...bleah.
  • I wish my avatar could have massive dreadlocks down to it's knees. Why not? They could blow all over in the wind.
  • Almost done, stopping as soon as I hit 20 minutes. 
  • I let the program pick a course at random for me. And here I am on the same course I was on yesterday! I've only done one ride so far!
  • What a wonderful trainer this is. I can't hear a thing.
  • I am looking at a window, and it's not miserable outside. I should be outside.
  • Where did all these of Zwift users come from? Why aren't they riding outside? Do they ever ride outside? I wonder what the app was like when it was new? Did they have to release it at a big expo so they could at least have 10 users on at once?
  • Well, I only have 10 minutes to go, I'll just finish the whole thing.
  • Does anybody actually drink as much water as thier avatar? She cannot stop reaching for that bottle!
  • Since it's a virtual world, why don't they embellish it a little? Do more things you can't do in real life? I want to bike through the snow! How about biking through a sandy african safari, complete with wild animals lapping at your pedals? I want to bike through water, not just a tunnel, but in it with fish swimming by. I'd like to bike up a single-track rail that takes me all the way to the moon!
