and you're back

I did the 2nd Zwift Games event this morning and came 4th in an 18 people charge for the line. Ironically beat the guy who beat me in Race 1 where I was 2nd.

Same as before the A cat in me has no issue staying in and as we rode Titans grove I did enough to stay with the leaders but no more. About 2/3 kms from the end a couple went off the front and I rode the group back to ensure a bunch sprint. I still can't sprint really but this is how you practice.

On reflection I should have probably kicked and attempted to bridge alone but I want to win a bunch sprint !!!!

The interesting bit here is this: 20 min/5 min power, I am obviously riding below what I did at my peak. Otherwise I'd have been A cat pinged again.

However, even though I have done 261 races my Minute/30sec power is making it onto page 1 of my race list ( ie. Top 50 efforts) Not at the top but interesting all the same.

Nice racing Gobi. I'll want a couple of weeks riding before I brave a race. My last of 82 races was June 2022. My only current peak attribute is my weight!

At least I should be ok to genuinely ride in the B cat.

I've been enjoying Rouvy recently. No racing just enjoying riding outdoors indoors.

I tried Whoosh for a few rides, but I’m back to Zwift. Whoosh is very similar in lots of ways, but Zwift is just busier and somehow more engaging I found.

Currently free as it gets funding from UAE government. Maybe it’ll get better when more people start using it - they’re sponsoring the UCI esports world champs this year (pinched from Zwift).

Big_G given the Zwift price rise announced today, would you care to share any more info (on functionality etc) on MyWhoosh? For example, can you link it to Training Peaks to download/upload workouts etc? Thanks
