There seems to be two sorts of ZHQ Crit around lunchtime, one is ‘anti sandbagging’; ie cone of shame and the other is the boost mode race.

maybe they simply weren’t signed up to ZP.
I notice in ZP results my max HR of 149 was red. Is that because it was the lowest in the results? Highest was also red (209). My HR is very low on the bike, and OHR tends to under egg it too; yet it over eggs it running 
Yes.
ZP “flags” the highest/lowest values in each column in red.
But only for the OVERALL (all cats)

Man, the ipad connects up sooo much quicker and slicker. Also it picks up my cadence from the power meter, whereas my laptop didn’t.
Pity the screen is so small that’s all.

@Daz can we get the weekday evening one scheduled whilst theres plenty of interest.
iPad mini is definitely not ideal! My 48 year-old eyes struggle to read any text on the screen while riding

Genuine mistake! I was looking around thinking where is @Poet. And then, why is this race not ripping apart. I’m pretty comfy in this group.
Oh yeah, it says c next to all our names. Idiot! The irony of an anti sandbagging race! 
So I sat in and used it as a sweetspot effort with surges here and there. Broke away with the top 6 on that little climb with about 5km to go. They were all Bs for sure as well!
Saved my burrito for the last 500m, tried to go and got hammered by them all in the sprint! I have zero top end power! None.

I thought I would do a nice Cat B group ride, BMTR Short Adventure, 1h15m round London. Realised just after I started that I was on TT bike, so decided to switch bike and see if I could catch up. I was 46s behind and managed to catch the group after 22 mins, riding at 320w+, after that it was a nice ride in the group. Much to my surprise I took the sprint up the Mall on each lap, and was pushing 11.5w/kg
This is what happens when an A+ rider joins a Cat B group ride… although I did miss out on the 1m power

Are we using existing races or shall we create meet-ups for the races?
Meet-ups we’re more in control of time, course, and they apparently have leaderboard results. We’ll prob have to put out cat in front of our name when racing though.
Meet-ups can only be created up to 7 days beforehand. So I can create one later today for Wed 4 November 6pm? Does that suit the majority? We can always change time/date for the meet-up if we change our minds. This midweek one can be shorter and flatter.
I’ll do the same for Sat, say 8:30am and make that a slightly longer course with a few koms.
(If we go for existing races then again we’ll need to wait until we’re within 7 days of the date before we choose something suitable)

If we do go with meet-ups I can do a dry run at some point over the next 7 days. If anyone fancies it let me know. Just to see what the finishing table looks like. We can literally just do a spin of the volcano circuit lol.
I’m happy to create the race meet-ups. Whoever does will need to be found on Zwift Companion ap. in order to join the event.
Happy to help seeing as I’m nagging
