What?!?!?
That’s me out then 
I’ll never do anything in Cat A.
I can barely muster 4W/kg as it is, let alone 5!!!
I assume Wally just does flat races then?
If he’s a dick, maybe we need to gang-up on him in an event and work him over! Would need to be B Cat only I guess.
Does seem a bit suss that he wins so much, even off 3.6/kg!

You’ll do better in uphill stuff… so like volcano climb etc
look at wally…
His top 3 power numbers are 15 sec w/kg, 1 min w/kg and 1 min raw power…
So hes always going to be more or less in the mix if he can hang on for a sprint.
You and me (this is yours poet)… our best stuff is the longer efforts…
So we will always struggle on short and flat

But I’m massive compared to people who do well in those events, I just get passed and go backwards.
The height doesn’t help my Zwift CdA.
RE: Nico - he usually races in Cat A.
I bet he doesn’t do Titan’s Grove or Richmond.
I assume this Wally bloke, and many like him, have optimal equipment set-ups by virtue of their Level, and maybe the way they use some biometrics? I hadn’t thought about the height/CdA thing Poet mentioned.
Its finding the balance… one of my best/most enjoyable was the volcano - but it didnt finish at the top… it came back down then 6km run in to finish.
So going up you drop all the big sprinters
Coming down you can catch up all the lightweights
Anyone whos an average sprinter may also have burnt some matches - so then you dont need as big a sprint… or can try other stuff as people already fatigued

Wally looks genuine.
He has verification rides and a weight video on YouTube.
So he has been flagged as “unbelievable” before.
Sorry Wally!
Also, he did put a WINK 
after sticking to the ZP cat message. So probably not a dick. Just likes winning and not having a team of three triathletes descend on a race.
I liked that - if @jorgan and @gingerbongo can join @NickBerry and myself for a race, it’d be good.
Maybe @mw22 can drop down again?
We can go on Discord and chat/grunt?
Something like the London 8, with the Box Hill, or that Volcano Climb one?
Im getting EXACTLY same workout as Cat A… and can still see my efforts on ZP - so Im game (not losing anything other than a virtual trophy).
Video just crashed uploading - trying again. I blame Jeff.

Sweet!
Lunch is best for me (1100-1400 window)
Tue, Weds or Thu…depends what others are doing, like.
Third Place is nearly CatA, too.
But he’s a proper triathlete (Strava Photo) and his power is same as ours.
What’s this?
Let’s invite the gammy slow kid so we can all have a laugh?

No!!!
It’s good pre-race, in the chat.
Just all say hello to one another and put the creepers into the rest of the field.

Yeah they were so intimidated by the no sock brigade 
Right can do any of those lunches next week @Poet - just need to book the garage out as wife usually trains at lunch. Easy run week too, if you fancy Tues and Thurs

Looks like next weeks haven’t been uploaded yet.
There’s one on the last day of lockdown/first day of advent…
Figure 8 Reverse?
Zwift KoM reverse is a time triallers dream - shallow enough for weight/height not to peg you back. I can tap out a great rhythm on 6% gradients IRL.
Could probably get over that in 4mins20s?
Try to force a break up there and hold it going down, then it’s flat to rolling until the Zwift KoM.
Then downhill to the finish.
I reckon we’re all too big/crap to go for it up the Zwift KoM, so going for it almost immediately might work out?
That’d be ace, though a bit long at an hour for some? I’d like to give it a go - proper FTP test.
Can @Adam do some skiving?
He’s a bit of a night owl

Is that separate Cat starts?
I was just trying to see that!! Cant find it on ZP
Think its open!!!
Hm, that makes total domination very hard 
Loads of time left. It’s not even on 3% yet.
I also drive 40 miles with the fuel light on.

RE: Tues 1st Race
All cats appear to be off at 1315, which means no breaks 
We can wait to see what other races are released.
Lunchtimes are now just CRIT CRIT CRIT
Full - unedited version.
top highlights…@Poet going off the start at 8w/kg and gapping the field.
16:45 "are we going for it " as falls like a stone through the pack 
Edit - forgot how much of a pain those burritos were. Was a sprint every time one got deployed
