Well I don't know how I did that but 53.39 for me please @peterob . Think I might take it a bit easier tomorrow...
Thanks for the company Al - that was a right ding dong battle up the mountain, and knowing you were chasing close behind me kept me spurred on to the end
Great going mate. That was a tough slog.
I don’t know where you got the energy to come back at me on the mountain as I made four solid 2 minute Zone 5 efforts to get the blood flowing. Once you went over the top ahead of me I knew it wasn’t going to be my day.👏54:01 for me @peterob
Looking at the splits I was down from the peak to the jungle turn 5 seconds quicker using the aero tuck and sprinting up the inclines but you got me on the radio tower climb and on the final 5 km run for home. How demoralising was it seeing your leader marker disappear around each corner ahead.
You were well ahead of me at one point up the mountain and I wasn't even looking at the screen towards the end, just concentrating on keeping the power up. And then I looked up and there you were! I think it was only on the last bit up to the radio tower that I got ahead of you. I had no idea how far behind you were after that because you dropped off the rider list.Great going mate. That was a tough slog.

Looks like it was the descent and flat section to the finish where I took the time out of Tommy as well - he was faster up the mountain.
Only thing I can put my ride down to is I haven't been running this week so my legs are more rested than usual
Lowest watts though despite - I think - being heavier than both you and Tommy 🤔

I think Tommy said he'd lost some weight so had lowered it a bit on Zwift. But yeah quite similar (not sure I am quite whippet status though!)You 78 kg
Tommy 78.9
Alan 77kg
More or less the same... All of you whippets!

78.9 kg is his ZP weight. You all being whippets or not, are for us 85+ guys to decide!

Bridgy is right. I changed my weight to 77kg before my last cc race. Maybe it doesn’t show on zwift power until after an official race?
Maybe the time vs weight differences are because bridgy knew better where to attack the course second time around? It was Al’s first attempt tonight and mine on Sunday and it’s quite a technical course so there’s definitely spots where you pinch a bit of time. Maybe you got more drafting opportunity tonight bridgy? Also I’m taller so take a penalty for that. Maybe a combo of all those things!
Well done to both of you guys anyway! I watched a bit of it and you were both flying. I’m going to stick to my guns and not redo any of the stages so well done chaps, thoroughly deserved 1st and 2nd by the looks of it
. Hopefully it’s just as close next month ( but with a slightly different result 
)Now over to C cat

Hey Zwifters, today we’ve got an update for one of our favorite times of year on Zwift - Halloween. We’ve added a totally optional mini-challenge on Watopia to find 4 locations that unlock pieces of a Halloween costume. The costume is only usable for Halloween, and will be gone once the day has come and gone.
Additionally, while we continue work on some of our big projects (ie, things that are taking 6+ months to complete) we’ve made a few changes in this update and a recent patch, such as:
Now, with that out of the way, much of the negative feedback from some of our most outspoken Zwifters really stemmed from the fact the transition wasn’t handled very gracefully. We did a poor job of ensuring everybody got that specific update at the same time causing group rides to get blown apart as well as races being won unfairly. We’ll now be building some simple restrictions to events to ensure a more level playing field for the future (ie, requirements on equipment, up-to-date software, etc). We regret that some of the competitiveness of some group rides and races was ruined. As we continue to deprecate the older clients this issue should become mostly resolved. Additionally we’ll soon try and ensure everybody riding on events specifically on the jungle circuit will be doing so on the same class of bike (ie, MTB).
Finally, I want to thank the community for all the feedback on the steering test we launched earlier in the month. While the early skeptics were certainly vocal about it in the “Whats new” post previous to this one, in the end we’ve had almost 20,000 test rides fully completed start to finish and overwhelmingly positive feedback. While it was meant to be a low volume test, I think it could end up as a permanent addition to Watopia in the future. Who knows - maybe a whole network of single track trails can spread through the wilderness of Watopia one day.
I’ll end on a note saying we do read the feedback in this thread (and elsewhere) - even if we can’t respond to everything. I’ll personally try to check in a little more often with replies
With that, Ride on!

- Reworked ‘lead-in’ system for events. This should improve the lead-in countdown before lap based events, as well as resolve some of the other discrepancies we saw in the user interface during those events.
- Fixed screen-size issue due to an Apple change in tvOS 13 on certain Apple TV’s, when used with 720p televisions
- Fixed WatchOS 6 support
- Fixed crash on iOS 13.1 + iPhones
- Added Movember mission for November
- Added content for Zwift Tri Academy
- Tweaked speeds for meetups with the ‘Keep Everyone Together’ feature
- Added Cannondale SuperSix Evo
- Added additional variant of new user tutorial

Thanks @<Tommy> its been a great competition and certainly added a big incentive to go hard. I must put it on the table that Zwiftpower upgraded me to Cat A last week based on last 3 races - 3.99, 3.99 and 4.02 wkg puts me up into A. But I would be lonely in a Cat a table all by myself so maybe call the B table “B+” 🙏🙏🙏
It was Xmas Eve - you were probably already on the port and stilton!Hey, my time looks good
