Zwift Chat

Surprised you weren’t bumped up the other night !

ZwiftPower still has me at C ... my 3 best 95% of 20 mins averages 3.07 w/kg so still some way short. In the race today I averaged 264 watts (3.3 w/kg) but only over 25 mins. Still not quite there to hold that power over an hour. I'm getting there though

I like the way ZP decides for you - so no debate.

I see some High C riders only doing long races now so they don't trigger the upgrade

Is there a possibility that your category jumps from C to A instead of B?

Unlikely because it is based on the average w/kg of your best 3 race 20 minute efforts in the last 90 days.

Cat is based on 95% of a 20 min. effort, so I don’t think a longer ride helps avoiding being bumped up.

Exactly.

Anyone fancy joining me in the long standing tradition of the Monday night hill climb tomorrow?

 

[Brusgaard]

Exactly.

I forgot the “don’t” in my post. This has now been corrected.

The resemblance hadn’t gone unnoticed!

Ah, well I think it does, because typically people will have lower 20 min watts in longer races than short races.

Depends - if you give it all you got at the first 30 minutes, for instance trying to hang on to a faster bunch, and then slows down later on, you’ll still be bumped up, right?

Yep that is correct
