Finished the last race of the Zwift Spin last night now that they're doing catch-up events - had done stages 1, 2 and 4 in the normal schedule, so only had stage 3 (New York) to go. Wasn't flat out racing any of them, but did give it a decent go and tried to keep up with one of the larger front groups for as long as possible on each stage.
ZwiftPower says I came 151st/248, 350th/776, 33rd/158 and 205th/247 on each of the stages (although my low position in stage 4 was greatly affected by me having to get off the bike only five minutes in to deal with a vomiting cat, which of course meant I lost any chance of getting into any of the faster packs).
However what's really interesting/strange is that ZP also has me listed as being back in D - was still definitely C only a few days ago. Now I believe my numbers have not gone down since my promotion back in January (they haven't really gone up much either to be honest) and if I compare my Strava power curve for the last 90 days to the 90-ish days when I was in D at the end of last year, it certainly still looks higher for the most part, except a brief blip around 5 minutes and then past the hour mark (as I haven't done any really long Zwift efforts this year so far).
(dark colour is Oct-Dec 2023, light colour is last 90 days)
Have no idea why the demotion, cause as I said I am almost certain I'm riding at or slightly above the same sort of level that saw me get promoted, so it's strange to drop back down again.
