You know where you can stick that!
I just want the names of the four people who finished ahead of me 🎯

That's one way to get your team DQ'd
he can join our team and he’ll put on weight while racing just from talking about food and sweets!

Seen the full breakdown of results on ZwiftPower now and am a little happier with my performance. Yes, my average for the entire race is fairly rubbish, but then I'll admit on the second lap while I was still trying to keep up with Jeff most of the time, there were various periods when my focus wasn't really there (mainly when I was listening to the food discussions on Discord) and my watts just dropped accordingly.
But my 20 minute figure (which probably takes me from the start line to the top of Libby Hill on Lap 1) is my 4th highest wattage in a race yet and only the 6th time that my 95% figure has gone over 2.5 w/kg, so proving that I did push my absolute hardest while I was in that back marker group. No shame in coming in last if you gave it everything!
EDIT - and apparently I didn't come in last after all! Two other late finishers are now listed behind me (at almost 10 and 15 minutes back). However there was certainly no-one else on the course map as I finished, so I can only assume these were people who lost connection at some point, then got it back in order to finish.

How was your race @Brendan Parker @bridgy

Absolutely brutal if I’m honest. Same old story for me, managed to hang on at start to the lead group, just. Wasn’t that a faster start than normal? Actually sitting quite nice at the first sprint but resisted and same for the second. Thought I’d save for the climbs. Looking back now was prob the only shot of points but had the intention of trying for too 30? Still there or there about s until Libby hill then straight out of the back. Got stranded after the climbs in a group of 3 others but no one wanted to work. Then a bigger group caught us with @Norry1 in there I think , couldn’t message mate was blowing. Stayed there until Libby hill rd2 and out the back of that group also. Broke my highest ever HR tonight on the final climb and still out the back. Happy enough with my performance. Never going to contend with hills.
you #23 boys absolutely smashed it so well done. There may be somE DQ s as the guys who came 1st and 4th were reported before the race to WTRL with dodgy numbers so you may have a podium @<Tommy>?
great riding #68 boys also.👍🏼
Tough stage for us “big muscled guys” well done all.

I saw them on the mini-map -- they were *way* back.

Yeah, I know. It's just frustrating when you are coming in 93rd and you have people finishing in the top 30 who have gamed the system. WTRL is meant to stop that isn't it? Anyway, it won't matter to my points total!!!
