I Raced the BEST ZWIFTER In the World!

[@RoadtoA]

If you are racing on Zwift regularly, do you do structured workouts as well or do you simply consider the race being your workout?

[@akasaaints7733]

1 vo2 max workout, one (longer) race, rest recovery and zone 2

[@RoadtoA]

@@akasaaints7733 if you did two races, would you skip the vo2max workout or one easy ride?

[@akasaaints7733]

since i have to work and get tired very quickly from races and vo2 max, im not doing more than 2 hard days a week. my schedule looks something like that one vo2 max, one race, one fasted ride and one longer ride (3h+), 2 zone 1/2 rides. Thats the way, i can do it consistently. So i would do 2 races, rest easy. But in the races i would go very hard and deep.

Nice race and final breakaway effort!! The 3rd place guy is local in my area and hold many Strava segments outdoor LOL. Keep going for A!

[@RoadtoA]

Thanks!:)

[@frannyyarina]

Look at that man, well done, now you are proud of yourself...The A is not far away, congratulations 👏👏👌👌

[@RoadtoA]

Thank you. It is hard to not be critical of myself but I think I did really well this race. :)

[@frannyyarina]

@@RoadtoA absolutely

[@Taylor-Ma]

This is really hard!!! You did very good!! I wasn't sure If I can keep the wheel of the second climbing. I will do the 4th pinarello race tmr.

[@RoadtoA]

Good luck! That one's fun too. I'm just getting read for the ZWS!

[@Taylor-Ma]

@@RoadtoA I got it done (zws)just now... Oh, man!!! It is a desperating ride... ZP result is the fouth in cat B. Overall 6th. It turns out three low point A in our group!! The one who won the race avg power is 4.1!!! 20min 4.8.......wtf

[@Taylor-Ma]

Correction: I was the only cat B from the first place to seventh!!! That is why I felt that difficult!! Holy Molly!!! Score system is unfair!!!! Oh my word!!

[@RoadtoA]

@@Taylor-Mathe rating got reset yesterday for everyone. It will take some time to settle. In my group there were multiple A+ riders as well as at least two professional women.😅

[@timcamden9705]

Great race!! How do you get the route map overlay on your screen?

[@RoadtoA]

That's added in post production with a software called Telemetry Overlay.

[@JayB9127]

Strong effort!💪💪👍👍🙏🙏

[@RoadtoA]

@@JayB9127 thank you!

[@michaeljenders1508]

great riding with you!

[@RoadtoA]

You too!

[@SteakandChains]

Dude you did a hell of a job keeping up for 50k in 1:11 minutes is epic strength! Great work

[@RoadtoA]

Thanks! :)

[@crankgreenwatts]

No fence, so lets go 🤣

[@timcamden9705]

Oops, the race I was referring to is actually Stage 2 Viva la France that you posted 2 months ago but had a similar name.

[@RoadtoA]

No problem. I replied to your other comment.;)

[@falkenjaeger-u2u]

Do you consider the #11 in the Pretzelfest to be your best result so far?

[@RoadtoA]

Probably yes, at least with regards to my placement and the competition. What I am the most happy about is I wasn't content with winning in the sprint and attacked early. That's the direction I want to move in.

[@SteakandChains]

Looks like JJoneling held 4w/kg for a while to make the catch

[@RoadtoA]

@@SteakandChains yea, which had me wondering why he wasn't ahead the whole time!

[@__marshie]

How much carbs did you consume during the ride?

[@RoadtoA]

@@__marshie for the two hours about 80g. I am training my stomach to accept more but so far this is where I am at.

[@__marshie]

@@RoadtoA probably need more, keep going. Great ride!

[@RoadtoA]

@@__marshie definitely need more. :-)

[@blackflamesolutions526]

What is your best 5 min power / w/kg? and 1 min?

[@RoadtoA]

5 min 4.8 wkg, 1 min 6.8 wkg.

[@blackflamesolutions526]

@@RoadtoA I'm in A i am only 5.1 for 5min and 6.01 for 1 min. But my 20 min power is 4.5, which means i have to suffer like a dog in A.... But with these lower numbers I can finish A races in the main group most of the time. You are not far off! Keep going!

[@RoadtoA]

@@blackflamesolutions526 thank you very much, that's reassuring!

[@blackflamesolutions526]

@@RoadtoA Also, don't be too impatient to join A. It's full of cheats who think they weigh 48kg. Some of their race w/kg averages are World Tour podium level. There's a guy who wins a lot of races, claims to be 60kg, yet in his photo the amount of upper body muscle he is showing would mean he would need to be around a metre tall to be 60kg.....

[@RoadtoA]

@@blackflamesolutions526 hahaha😅 On the October 7th however the racing score releases for major events anyway (unless I am wrong) so the letter categories won't really matter anyway.

[@NoStarCyclist]

I simply suffer 😅

[@RoadtoA]

@@NoStarCyclist also a good choice😄
