Cheers. Will try it in few minutes and see what happens.You literally join the pen, then quit the ride. Go do a warm up, then when you re-join the pen you're still sitting there nicely at the front.
Feels like a bug in Zwift to me, I think you should either stay in pen to hold place, or if you quit then lose your place ... but as it allows this then I do this all the time
Cheers. Tried it for an event a few minutes ago. Simple and works.
. Maybe that's the trick though - have a couple of little breaks - It's certainly what my body was telling me to do!
Just looking up the 10am event: https://zwiftpower.com/events.php?zid=3128204
Looks like it ends at the Marina Reverse sprint banner but that sprint itself is not a prime. There is no segment for the Petit Reverse so only KOM primes are the Aqueduct forward and reverse (which are effectively very long sprints). Just over an hour for the fast lads.
Extremally low average and 20 min. power numbers from the top. Suggests that if you can keep up on the primes, you might as well be able to stick to the front.
@Whorty, you're not going to pass an opportunity to beat some A+, will you?
Man, this is thoroughly confusing. Just checked the primes on that 10am race and there's no Marina Rev. at all - you're right. This means that the segment that starts 0.6km in is not a timed segment - but I'm sure some folks will get confused so better be prepared to go. FRR notice board says it counts but don't see how they can get the times if its not included in ZP primes?
I think I'll try the 6pm today. My bet is that will be the race with the largest field thus increasing the probability of finding a suitable groupetto pace- and size-wise.
Yeah that potentially early sprint through Marina Sprint reverse - and whether it will actually count or not - is confusing isn't it?
