I saw your big start but decided against that myself as I may have bonked on the Hill. On the road you was always 5 or 6 riders ahead but also a consistent 90 + seconds. I was pleased with my time and ride, just a shame so few are signed up to ZP.

OK.
I'll be lazy and ask the idiot question.
What's the short story/explanation about Zwiftpower? Does it help with sorting out who to race with and how do I sign up?

Most Zwift races transfer their results to ZP, which does the "final" classification/ranking, taking into account, what trainer people uses (smart, non-smart etc.), heart rate (not using a HR-strap gets you disqualified in many races) and manyh other things.
You sign up to Strava and ZwiftPower and link those two, as they use real life data to see, if your Zwift performance is wrong compared to real life (ie. you cheat or use a faulty trainer). Then on your Zwift profile, you have to opt-in to ZwiftPower, to allow them to get your race data etc. (because of GDPR).
In addition to what @Brusgaard says, ZP allows you to see race rankings after the race but Zwift doesn't. On Zwift as you finish you have a screen showing position but once you close the screen it's gone. ZP fills a gap in Zwift.

found it ! i hadn't let zwiftpower talk to strava - not the easiest thing to find is it
In ZwiftPower you can also join the Cyclechat team too so that when you click on the 'your team' button you can see the results from the rest of us.
I'm signed up to the 5:20 WBR Greater London flat race C Cat if anyone fancies a blast later. 10 miles of all out full throttle.
Edit: a decent ride for me. Blasted out the blocks and stayed with lead group for first 8km or so. Lost them as we came past Big Ben and headed along the north bank. I broke free of the couple who were dropped at the same time and picked up another straggler. He latched on to me and I couldn't shake him. A few times I got a few metres lead but he kept coming back. Legs were getting tired and just didn't have enough in the end to out sprint him. Beat me by half a wheel. On the road I was 14 out of 34 riders (I think 9 C riders). ZP has me first of C out of 4 which is rather flattering as I definitely didn't win the C group on the road. Ave 246 watts over 27 mins so pleased with that.
