Must say I've never failed to join a race when I've signed up, but then I'm 99% sure I always sign up on the mobile app or Zwift Power before I log on to the Zwift SIM. This may (or may not) support this theory.

That will be mostly Sweetspot/HIIT Fatigue beware!
I'm now at the point where the workout levels are beginning to create more than a days fatigue to recover. So I've gone from daily to one on, one off routine. Don't want the same bank of fatigue I had last spring
Had an OK ride last night. Chest still playing up but I don't seem to have lost too much power over the last 3 or so weeks.
I created my own workout. 10 mins warmup adnd cool down, with a 40 mins 'free ride' in between. I did this to try and control my effort ad to see if I could maintain a good watt figure over 40 mins (trying to get 250 over 60 mins eventually!). Started off pretty well after the warmup. Lasted 16 mins with an average of 242 watts, but then chest started hurting so had to reign back the effort. In the end, over the 40 mins, I averaged 218 watts. Had the chest held up I reckon I could have held at least 230 for the 40 mins.
I'll be doing the ToZ stage 1 tonight at 17:00 but won't be pushing hard. Will be mostly a pootle; planning to take about 90 mins. Expecting to get lapped by the faster riders

Got back from my four week holiday last night and have just weighed myself.....I managed to put on over a stone!!! Mightily impressive
Think I’ll have a pootle on the bike later today and then start a Zwift training programme later in the week. Any recommendations?
I think it’ll be a bit harder for the weight to come off though
Happy belated New Year everyone

Happy New Year everyone!
Sounds like quite a few of you are doing the TDZ at 17.00 - I'm planning to do stage 1 tonight as well but may have to do the 19.00 instead unless I can get back from work early. Anyone else doing the 19.00 one?
After a bit of a break from riding whilst concentrating on over-eating and over-drinking, I fear this one is going to hurt a bit...

Reminiscent of Geoff's handicap race.

Who do think wins, all based on W/Kg

I’d like to join you guys on the 17.00 but alas I’ve got a busy evening ahead. Off work early today so fingers crossed I’ll get on the 11.00 or the 13.00. Pootle for me too (for stage 2 too) as I’m out IRL with the club this Sunday for HOTA/Flanders prep and don’t want to overdo it.
Try the Tour of Zwift stage 1 at 5 o'clock tonight. Cat A distance could burn a 1000 calories .... that would be 1/3 of 1 lb of weight lost .... only 13.66 lb to goGot back from my four week holiday last night and have just weighed myself.....I managed to put on over a stone!!! Mightily impressive

Long or Short course?Here is the event

I’m doing 19.00hrs. Not that I ll see you for long.
Long course - just can't bring myself to sign up for the shorter oneI could be persuaded to have a go ... and watch you rapidly disappear into the jungle
It is slightly staggered start times but the different Categories are different distances rather than a handicap race as such. Cat A is 27.5 miles, Cat B is 17.7 miles and Cat C is 22.6 miles but women only

I did stage 1 long TDZ this morning. Went off far too fast for the long lead in and each lap of the race got slower! Thought I would be seeing my Christmas excess eating and drinking part way round laps 3&4
