Had been thinking of racing tonight but woke up at 5am and a bit CBA.
Probably go to the gym and do my exercises and see how I feel when I get home.
Think there was a couple of crits and TT’s
Anyone else racing?
Lack lustre for me today; got dropped from the front group really early, and at times even struggled in pack 2. Once we got to Titan’s Grove, I did rally, and made the front group of that split. But I scored 537, which is by far my worst score in weeks, even though I was only a little of my usual pace at 3.8w/kg. Shows you the importance of keeping with the front group as along as possible.

Or your competition was poor, so you don’t rank well.
I’m going to take another look on how it all works.
We expect a detailed feedback.

Yes please because it confuses the hell out of me. Got my 2nd best ever score today, 411, despite unglamorous 3.8 W/kg and near lantern rouge placing of 24th out of 27.

I’m now considering a 16k TT at 6:50 
If I get home in time and motivated.
I can’t remember if anyone said they were interested this week, but have registered TriTalk team for TTT tomorrow. 19.03 pen D , frappe

I’m unable to zwift for two days now as my shed is going to be full of sofa!
New one arriving tomorrow, people not coming to collect the old two until Friday. Great. So that’s the gap in the kitchen and the shed taken up. So nothing for me until the weekend I guess. (I can still run obvs)
I cannot summarise this.
Good luck!
Do races with a good field (see @Jorgan ‘s BC TT effort)
Race a cat up.
Place higher than better riders (catch people on a rest day!)

My best score was that ZA race around Richmond, when I raced Cat C with you! I still have no idea how it all works!
I just read the FAQ in poets link. Apparently the rules were made up by the same person who designed Spaghetti Junction and the tax code.
As far as I can tell, the way to get a good score is to finish high up in a big field, that is also a “quality” field.
The quality of the field is just based on the average ranking of the 5 highest ranked riders, who finish in the top 10.
Sounds to me like the perfect race to get a good score would be with a hundreds of D riders and just a handful of A+ riders. Mght be possible to finish in a good place, and the field would have a good quality score too, so you’d get a nice low number🤔
On the other had you could deal out a 7W/kg smashfest, and come 1st out of 200, but still not see your score change if all the other riders had rankings much lower than you to start with.
That hasn’t helped, has it?

Annoying for me. Had trouble logging into Zwift, it kept saying may last two rides didn’t load properly and I got into a death loop.
Tried logging out of Zwift and resetting the Apple TV but didn’t help. Pulled the apple tv inside to use on big tv and logged into Zwift and could ‘watch’ fine. Then I noticed the apps on the ATV were all in ‘waiting’ mode. Tried logging out of ATV and in again but no help.
Then i tried the Macbook which connected ok but after a 20 sec rest ride, it wouldn’t save because it said I had no internet.
So i switched the ATV off and just watched Youtube on the tv in the garage and that worked fine. It’s weird because I usually get a solid wifi connection in the garage on my Macbook.
It’s like my wifi has suddenly dropped on the weekend but that doesn’t explain why I can watch YT on the tv alone?
I gave up and watched Pipeline Masters.

Nice!
Couple of TTs for me, British cycling weekly 10 followed by Bologna. Wanted a 2x20 sweetspot-ish. Really sluggish for the first and nearly sacked it after that, ended at 90% FTP.
Expected similar for Bologna, but perked up, got close to 100% at 4w/kg and 8th.

Interesting how you felt better on the second effort. When I did that triple header a few weeks ago I nearly got off during the first race but felt a lot better on the last one.
Good workouts though 
If theres no TTT… Anyone fancy this?
British Triathlon Winter Series: Handicap Race https://www.zwift.com/events/view/1323652
18:00 Volcano climb, staggered start tho, cat As going last. So plenty of options for race within a race.
Tempted but have masters swim so no dice. I did the SZR Out and Back last night, really enjoying the racing it’s hard but I know at some point I am going to have to get back down on the aerobars, sacrifice a bit of power and stick to my numbers.
Looks good but sorry, a bit early for me
