Carl and Chris would only need a kilo or two max to stay competitive in C cat. They will just as fit, but have chances to do well. It will be a little demoralising to keep finishing near the back of a group. By all means go for it and see how they fair.
I reckon Alan is bit happier racing B the busting a gasket trying to stay in A
The incentive for me is to lose some more weight and that will naturally push me into B - I'm still a little porky, even at 73kg, as I'm such a shorty. Another 5kg, even if my power stays the same, should see me returning 3.65 w/kg over 20 mins. Never gonna be at the front of B, but hopefully won't be dropped from the off like I am now.Carl and Chris would only need a kilo or two max to stay competitive in C cat.

with your current power 238W, you need to be 66kg for 3.6W/kgThe incentive for me is to lose some more weight and that will naturally push me into B - I'm still a little porky, even at 73kg, as I'm such a shorty.

The next kg i lose will push me into B for sure anyway, so i might as well go for a decent amount of weight loss
It seems a hollow bronze medal though as Marino should have had that place. Hopefully the three of us can all go again next week and get some points as I think we can push the 3 DBR lads for top of the league.
My 20 minute power last night was 246, so at 68kg that's a w/kg of 3.62 .... but you're right for the whole race, at an average of 238 and 68kg weight my total w/kg would be 3.5with your current power 238W, you need to be 66kg for 3.6W/kg
at your best recent power of 250W you need to weigh 69kg for 3.6W/kg
That would put you alongside Andy Long
You've got age on your side-just
Don't know did i read wrong that ZP statistic but your avg power was 238w which was 3,3w/kg and that means your weight is/was 72kg. That's what Zwiftpower says.My 20 minute power last night was 246, so at 68kg that's a w/kg of 3.62 .... but you're right for the whole race, at an average of 238 and 68kg weight my total w/kg would be 3.5
First things first though ... off with the extra bit of lard
No, definitely 73kg in Zwift and ZP. I wish I was 72kg
I was going to say a "Shorty Whorty" but I didn't want to give anyone else ideas
Much less effort to gain weight 🍪🍩🥟🍿🍫🍬🍭🌭🍔🍟🍕🥓🥞🍰🎂🥮🧁🍻
ZP has me at 'Almost B' too now. My 3 race ave is 3.18
Looking at your pics recently, you don't seem to have much more weight to lose, so a bit of weight training will easily add a bit of bulk.
