I’m sure there’s a joke in there somewhere!
2019 was the final year of the roundel.
I had an email somewhere.
I treat races like an over/ under session, so hurt on the big pushes and recover in the pack. My last Cat A race was the EVR Definitely not the WTNC (A) on Wednesday, when in the pack we sat at 3.8WKG and taking the turn at the front was 4.5WKG.
That was totally manageable for an hour
They’d been talking about this for a while.
I don’t know what they finally decided on for the feature though. I think one of the ideas was glowing you up as a sandbagger, one was throttling power.
Sure someone will know!
Is Zwift working ok? I’m planning a rest day but did get an invite from my CC for a ride but when I went to the Companion App, the invite is gone but my profile said ‘Female’ with no other details?
All looks fine to me.
It’s down for four hours on Tuesday (overnight for us in GMT)

They give you a green cone and throttle power if you go over the maximum 1 or 5min power but they don’t tell you what that is. They may also warn you on sign up if your data suggests you should race higher but you can ignore that.
Thanks. I had to delete and reload the app and all seems fine now.
Bit of badge hunting today, Achterbahn to complete the Innsbruck courses.
Mostly steady pace and a bit of a bum number at just under 2 hours.
Also got the green jersey for the sprint at the end, which my legs were were very unimpressed about

First attempt at a crit race tonight - mainly as I wanted to race just cat Bs.
8 laps of Downtown Dolphin and was almost leading the pack out of the pens. Nice to be nearer the front on the little climb rather than hanging onto those pesky As.
Got a bit frustrated with some rubbish power ups… bullldozer and ghost on first few laps werent much use. Happy to pick up the truck on last lap and would save it till the finish.
Had positioned myself well for the hill every lap… till the last one naturally, 200 metres out from it had to burn a match to get back in. Pushed hard on the hill, even managing to get the avatar sprinting - and crested with the front few.
Spent at this point mind! 900 metres to find my lungs and finish it.
Stayed behind the front few, but just drifted as we hit the rollers at the finish. Started to build with 500 to go, dropped the truck booster, and started to pull the front 2 back.
Round the last corner in top 4, tho seemed to back off the power… then everything left in the tank.
Crossed the line it said 2nd… but then 3rd - just pipping 4th!
Nice gift on zwiftpower tho…

Well done, you’ll be getting bumped up and DQ’d with 4.3w/kg soon though.
Well done, now off to A with you, sandbagger

Pretty much what happened to me after a short crit, I’d expect to be able to put in more in a race that’s barely 23 minutes long.
Might be that anti-sandbagging setting, I think it needs a bit of tweaking.
Haha, how aren’t you in A?
3 weeks I should be back down… Then stick to longer races for a bit 
Did enjoy that tho.
