I love/hate Zwift Racing, am I good at it, no not really, as I mostly train for long endurance doing triathlon. But there are no better high intensity sessions than 20-40min Zwift races. Just give it a try, sign up for it, see how long you can hang on and over time you will get better at it and enjoy it more and more, can't wait for the winter racing season where I actually loose a bit endurance but gain strength racing a lot setting me up beautfully for the new season in the coming year.
This race was The City and The Sgurr form the Race the Worlds Series - Stage 5, a 15km long course with 5 climbs between 1 and 1.6km length, doesn't sound to hard but it was ridden in a brutal tempo. I got dropped before the 4th climb so I skipped after that to the finish and spare you seeing me riding around Solo. As the road is part asphalt part gravel the Specialized Crux was teh fastest bike combined with Roval Gravel wheels.
I finished 20th in the end, over a minute down on the winner, our team the Dragons placed 6th people in the top 20, good result in a strong field and hard race, looking forward to the next one.
