yeah I noticed that - would like to see a video of that race and see how split up it got on the climb but I can't find one!

Tim Busick did one. We (DIRT Sprockets) have three teams in that race. Let me grab it for you...

Love a good TTR. They are the best fun ever - even better when it all goes to plan

Well done Alex - good race again.

Interesting that no team really went hard up the volcano KOM in your race - I guess no one felt confident they had enough strength in depth for that length of climb. But anyway, you definitley made the right call for your team to go on the Zwift KOM instead.

Looking forward to seeing whether our race pans out any differently later

It panned out a bit differently unfortunately 😂, as only had 4 riders and unfortunately one had a drop out within the first few km and that was our race run despite bridgys valiant effort to help them bridge. Good course tho- and to be fair I think it did play out as you said Alex just a bit distantly for us. Not to be helped tho.

Good to see you back @Del C

Yeah that was a shame wasn't it?! Oh well these things happen - I'm sure our team would have been right up there had that not happened (or if we'd had more than 4)

First race in a month ,zwift games on downtown eruption, forgot how hard racing is 🤣 . It's was full gas from the start and didn't ease until the top of the volcano . 2 minutes in and my heart rate already in the 170s danger zone for me . Hit the bottom of the volcano in 65th place and despite doing a PB by 11secs of 8.48 crested in 82nd place . Found a group on the descent and rolled to the bottom of the last kick ,rolled over the line in 87th of over 200 ( 61st of 91 on zp) . Average power of 3.1 and 20 min power of 3.3 so my forms still there and ZRS up 1 to 391 .On ZRS my score was 390 which is right on the cut off of zone 1 scoring 270 to 390 or 390 to 530 but zwift won't let me join the lower cat so it really should be 270 to 389
