I've always found that the only way to beat the guys with a massive sprint, is to go early and either hope they leave their sprint too late, or that they don't have a long sprint so they fade. It's my only tactic
Cheers Carl, Id be the same but I think he launched first so just sat hoping for podium (well out of saddle 100% effort) and he faded just at the end
Sorry Carl got all my timings wrong, was reading your post, then thinking I've got nearly an hour. Only to find I had 5 mins to get sorted- missed the start by 30secs arrgh
Did stage 4 bag the badge New York again. I was suffering all the way with no warm up at all. Was 8 th with just over a km to go, got swamped, had nothing to go with the push. I backed off and went for minor place sprint.
Had one of my best peak power sprint in an actual race 1123W
See if I held it to get a new 15s sprint when ZP updates

No probs. Zwift had a loss of connection that crashed my HRM, and no HRM for that race somehow put me into the pairing screen and that was my race over. Zwift wouldn't let me reconnect the HRM or rejoin the race so I ticked off another badge.
Slightly frustrating as I was hanging on nicely to the front group - working hard and definitely would have had no sprint left if I made it to the end, but at least I wasn't dropped.
Seems every time I try to race at the moment I get drop outs. Very frustrating, especially given my broadband is superfast 1gb.
Bluetooth as on ATV. Lost connection that corrupted the HRM connection and I couldn't even reboot the HRM.
It's possible it's the HRM causing the problems - it's a Rythm, had it for years so maybe it's on its way out. I may need to invest in a new HRM
Quarter Ton video I was in this where he blasted off the front. He did a great job

I read that this ZRL Summer Showdown is only 4 riders per race - so in theory we do already have enough for a team of 4. Shall we go ahead and register the team? Hopefully if any of this initial 4 riders can't make a particular race we can find smeone willing to step in! (Up to 10 people allowed in the squad)
And with this in mind, what is your preferred timeslot guys? Options (that work for me!) are UK times: 6pm, 6.30pm, 7pm, 7.30pm or 7.45pm.
My preference would probably be 6.30pm but I can do any so will go with what works for those with more restrictions

I can only make 7 pm my time work. I'm afraid that's 8 pm UK time?
There isn't an 8pm UK time timeslot - latest is 7.45pm and then next after that is 12.30am!
If you are short, you can always add me to the squad. My availability is low, especially as I'm doing quite a few midweek IRL races soon - but on the off-chance.
Hope the op went well, Martin.
Yep fine cheers mate. It was removal of a suspicious mole - I had melanoma 10 years ago and this removal was a bit precautionary. Not a big cut but they take it very deep (my wife watched the op 10 years ago
)
